OMax bringing some serious hustle by crashing the boards and played solid for his role.
Good to see him hit that 3.
Hoping he can continue to play well enough to get all of Maxi's minutes before the end of the year and Maxi can either get moved, or take on more of a Morris/Powell insurance/situational role.

Cant complain too much since they got the W. It was unnecessarily close with the team taking their foot off the gas, but they did finish thankfully.
Hopefully Naji will come back soon as he's a vital piece. I still think he should start, or at least Grimes. I dont get the thought process that you're good enough to start but not good enough to close. Clearly Klay's not good enough to close, so he shouldnt start either. If we do a real deep dive analysis, the games where Klay's box score stats look good are ones we lost or like this one where it did not need to be as close as it was. WHen he's trying to pump up his stats, the team falls, and his D is worthless.
