It was defense that brought us back against MIA he left the game. Hopefully, he and Finch can continue to inspire our other players to put the same strong effort into their defense tonight.
We still forced a lot of turnovers (21 total for the game,) without Beverly. We also should be getting JO back who is an excellent point of attack defender. The biggest issue for me is JMAC is not NBA quality at the moment. He needs to be end of bench and Nowell needs to given a legit chance to play the role. If you won’t use Nowell then you need to use Leo. JMAC is a massive negative in every aspect of the game and he is far more likely to harm us then help us this game or any other game against a good team.
