That’s just bad coaching by Ham right there.
Jackson is too big and strong for Vando.

RUI and Reaves have shown me enough. I know what I'm doing with them during contract negotiations

Those playoffs are big you have players who can grow. Man Hachimura, Reaves and Vando is a core for years.

Great win! Was sweating until the late run. I'm getting too old for that.

Won't expect the same shooting from Hachimura next game but we're so deep that we'll have one of the bench guys supporting Davis, LeBron and DRuss.

Go Lakers!

Nice win. It felt like we were in control even when they were up for a few minutes.

Good away win.

AD setting the defensive tone early was key.
Also Vando on Ja was a solid adjustment .

Rui and Reaves were great and saved the game for us.

Rui hitting those 3s in the third was absolutely huge and Reaves just playing amazing ball on both ends.

He not only scored really key buckets, but he also was very active on defense
