Ant got fouled about 100 times on that drive to the rim.

Good start tonight. Quite unusual. We will need production for Rudy and Slomo without KAT. 30 from ANT may help too.

So far so good. He's playing well defensively and finding people on offense.

Just realized Monk is out. Pretty big. Guy has been a bucket this year.

Rudy taking it on himself to replace KAT's offense so far

Ant is energized and active on both ends. Might be one of those big games for him. He does love to play in SAC.

Need Ant driving at Sabonis as often as possible really put him in foul trouble early next quarter

Great first. Good defense, good energy. We ony not shoot well at 3, not big deal so far.

Kings starting to feel momentum. Need to shut that down with some shots.

We built a 13 point lead and lost it, but we've got it back to 5. If we win this game on the road without KAT make no mistake it's a big win.

Tim Conelly couldn't identify a shooter even if he was there sitting 10 feet behind Abraham Lincoln during the playing of "Our American Cousin."

Rudy's defense has been great so far...OTOH he shouldn't be taking a single shot outside from paint, just a waste of a possession

Those Conley sequences are so valuable.

I'm really encouraged by how we are playing tonight. On the road, no KAT and leading by 9 late in the first half.
