Lol I noticed that as well. They would've had a field day with that.

What a gutsy, gritty effort to get this win, especially after how poorly everyone started the game. Now hopefully Jimmy comes back healthy in Game 4 because I don't think this is repeatable.

Buddy the hero, just as expected.
This movie is like the Rocky Horror Picture Show where everyone knows all the lines.

Game ball to Draymond, even with Steph's 30+ day. His defence was immense all game.

Great win - did a much better job of matching Houston's physicality and intensity. Literally praying now for Jimmy to not remain "butt-hurt"!

Honestly, it was millimetres away from being a 3 game suspension.

Luckily Sengun identifies as a she/her.

I'm guessing because we won they will continue to rest Jimmy next game.

I gotta say, I am enjoying Sengun constantly trying to do his spin or lower his shoulder into Loon and Dray, just to get stood up what seems like every single time. Every time it happens, I chuckle.

Among the role players, Buddy, Post and GP2 saved the team this game.

Podz and Moody not making shots in the first half threatened to bury the team OTOH.

Buddy with 2 turnovers including getting picked by Adams but he was still +14 and his 17 points were HUGE.

GP2 looked to score, didn't hesitate when the team needed baskets.

Nah, they took a calculated risk this game, if they were to lose the next game they lose the home court advantage. This was a huge win.
