Defensive intensity. Take care of the ball. Move the ball. Box out. Fundamental stuff that we can't do.

I love the way that Rudy Gobert seals in transition. Beautifully kept the lane open for Jaden McDaniels.

Everything looks great to start the game (except for defensive rebounding).

Could it be? Could have they finally figured it out? Fight on D, switch and run, play with pace, nobody can keep up with you

One nice pass, but otherwise pretty rough minutes for the rookie.

Tough to throw Rob in there against a top team. But he fight and will learn faster than playing in G Garbage League...

When Dillingham is making shots he's a useful player, when he's not he's a significant net negative.

Nickeil Alexander-Walker has been brutal offensively lately.

Randle is pretty good tonight. 9 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 turnover.

Randle is playing differently last night and tonight. Much more of a facilitator, takes his shots in the flow, no postups almost at all.

Good half. The zone messed them up a little and slowed them down but Rudy was really huge here down the stretch with the dunks and FTs.

Ant has to take more pride in guarding Mitchell and going at him the other way.
