Maybe it is just as simple as take KA out of the lineup :lol:

KAT was the one backing down KD in the post and tiring him out earlier in the game

I have been saying that for months. I have multiple threads about it. Kyle is a good defender and a spacing nightmare. Just drags is into quick sand. Best thing that could happen is Kyle staying hurt.

Great Game by Rudy!

Hell of a game one performance up and down the team. Everyone contributed. Booker is obviously going to play much better but Jaden was fantastic on him all night long.

Great game by Towns today. We need that control all playoffs. He does that it makes usu so much better. Stay controlled.

I love Garza’s dopey smile after his first basket.
