Really nice cross court find by Devin to Branham. Really nice fake and step in J by Branham on the left baseline. Good vision and patience.

And after a 6-0 start we allow a 7-0 run.

Good physical work by Sochan down low to get the foul on their C.

WHO WAS TO GUARD ZION AT THE ARC WHO WAS LEFT WIIIIIIDE OPEN WITH FIVE SPURS IN THE PAINT? (KELDON YOU WERE CLOSEST...)

Then again, we have a better chance of him from there than running out and giving up a lane to drive through... but still, contest...

Sochan has no lift in his legs this season. Hardly any. Compared to last season when he was all kinds of bouncy, it's like he has weights on his ankles. Just weird.

He needs to get used to doing what he did last year. That PG thing has just destroyed his confidence in how he plays.

One of the best post-ups by Wemby just there. Wide stance, balanced, patient, kept the ball away form the defender, saw the double coming and spun into the jump hook. Very nice.

Well he's been excellent on D since going back to the PF role, and has less duties so he said he can focus more on the D end. So what does lack of lift have to do with confidence? It's a physical thing. Even on dunks in transition he's much much lower. Really stands out.

3-2 zone worked!

Good D board by Devin with two O players on him.

And that's the problem with Tre - and it's not his fault. The driver just circled the ball over Tre's head in changing directions and driving. Tre simply can't get a hand on that.

It's a good challenge now when the 3s are not falling. How do we get stops? How do we create shots for everyone? How do we get inside? You can see that our opponents have reps together and a more seasoned O. That's where we want to be.
