Didn't catch the action, but glad to hear the team finally got it together in the 4th after flirting with a weak yet dangerous opponent for most of the game.

GRIII continues to be fairly invisible, but I hope SJ stays with the 2nd unit where he seems to have found his comfort zone. Lol at RJax for chucking 15 from the 3 -- maybe RBull should've been the one taking half of those.

BG23 seems to have laid off from the boards in this game. Shame... would'v been an easy 3ple-2ble. And despite his 11 dimes, given the gravity that Blake generates against the defense, the other guys really ought to do a better job of cutting to the basket for easier buckets in the paint, and not just trying to get open for 3s.

A lot of Reggie and Blake 3's were at the end of the clock when nothing else worked for us. They always swarmed Blake pretty hard and they beat him up too, he got several hits in the face during the game and even got a cut in the head after he got elbowed there.

Reggie's issue was he didn't really want to shoot those 3's so he was really hesitant to shoot them. Since they had 2-3 guys on Blake, everyone else had wide open looks, including Galloway who hit a lot of them in a row giving us the lead.

I honestly would say Reggie's 15 3 point attempts are more on Blake than on him. Blake tried to get everyone else going during the game, since the defense on him was insane (TJ Warren even got ejected after getting 2 techs in a row because of a play with Blake IIRC) he couldn't get anything working for him on offense untill the last 3-4 minutes of the game. He tried really hard to play a 2 man game with Reggie.

Reggie Jackson had a terrible game tho, on both sides of the floor, I'm not defending him, he was bad. Drummond was great, Galloway was great, SJ was great, Ish was solid, Zaza was pretty good too, GRIII had some really smart plays on offense.

We won the game when Blake hit a couple of 3's in a row and Booker had a couple of dumb TOs. Booker carried them the whole game but when the game was on the line Booker and Ayton lost it.

Our defense with SJ and Bruce Brown playing together is absolutely insane. Too bad they're such a liability on offense. Drummond was good on defense thiis game. He got a bunch of steals and had a couple of really good defensive plays against Ayton on the post.
