Quality win. Norm is just balling right now - addition by subtraction indeed... Role players are contributing. Opportunity to extend the win streak to 4 against the Raptors tomorrow.

In the 4th quarters maybe someone(Dunn?) other than Harden needs to bring the ball to the opponent floor. Dunn would be more agile to run the court gave us extra 4-5 seconds of shot clock. When Harden brings, he eats the clock and then do lazy passes in blitz, slow to act. those 5-6 seconds of full court pressures probably spends all the energy in his legs.

That's a great point about Dunn bringing it up in the fourth. Even if it just leads to an entry pass.

Interesting that the players (Norm specifically I think?) remarked about Dunns energy and engine. The guy is so limber and quick. Doesn't seem to get gassed. Just look at his man defense in the 4th quarter. He must be a MF to play against!

Wow, did not expect this big of a win. I was thinking "Here we go again..." when we were up 16 in the 4th and they cut it to 4, but Norm and Amir closed it out strong!

Solid win! Can't say enough about Norman Powell. I don't think I've seen a player take this big of a leap this late in his career. Kudos to him for grinding in the off season. It's obviously showing.

Now let's go get that back to back!

Very nice win on the road

No Problem = Norman Powell.. guy is playing fantastic, so fun to watch..

KPJ was big off the bench, need more of that

Luv the defensive focus and consistency and its pretty apparent the team is comfortable playing on the road (so far). A good defense helps a lot with that.

Feels good to get a solid win on the road, against a team with way more talent than us on paper. Norman Powell is an all star let's see how long he can keep this efficiency going. We tend to follow up an impressive win with a bad loss, so let's hope it's not gonna be the case tonight.

Hell of a win! Can Norm keep this up? If so he's on the all star team. Love to see Coffey looking for his shot. This is what I wanted to see from him in the playoff series against Dallas when Kawhi shut it down. Guess he didn't have the confidence then. I trusted Lue in playing KPJ like he's been doing. Its going to pay off. Zu & DJJ ballin' out and Harden until late in the 4th where he desperately tries to give the game away. Let's get Toronto tonight. I see some bench minutes coming

Better starting five, but not better from 1-15
