Following pure basketball logic, a blowout win is the most realistic expectation for this game. Still, a lottery team that plays without their 2 best players is traditionally a dangerous opponent for Malone.

Back-to-back "A win is a win" victory :nonono:

First, we beat the Sixers without Embiid and Paul George where the opponent led +3 with a minute and a half left and now we beat the Hornets without LaMelo and Brandon Miller who lead +4 in the final minute. We played with fire once again vs bad teams, but this time we survived (twice in two days).

Starters are not bad at all (another Jokic monster game 28-13-17-4, Braun 24-11-2-2), but threes were 7-37 terrible, and the bench was 12-35 vs Hornets bench. We scored only 10 points in the 4th quarter before the final minute but luckily finished the game with a 7-0 run in the final 45 seconds.
