Well, then you'd have missed Allen's streaky run in the 3rd quarter where he really turned it on and brought us back. He did play 37 minutes, but the alternative was more Damian Jones. (Four more games till TT is back.)
Garland only played 32 minutes and CPJ was waiting to get into the game with 4 minutes left, but there weren't any game stoppages until it was out of hand. Not sure if he was going to sub for Garland or just get a second ballhandler out there.

If your team is short handed and your key players are visibily exhausted in the first half, just play the bench and take the L. You're likely to lose anyway and the risk of injury isn't worth it. If you want to bring Garland and Allen back in with 5 minutes left to steal the game, okay.

I don't think you do that against the Hawks.
