Playing so unselfish, ball movement, and moving without the ball plus some good defense

I’m loving how every player is playing except Cam… he really needs to be the player we go to when we need a spark off the bench when down 15+points in the 2nd half.

I’ve been saying it for a while, he’s not a guy you can trust to come in and give you consistent production and that’s what we need when Brunson is on the bench… a guy that can come to defend and not be reckless for 10mpg

Mikal has really surprising sense of angles and knowing where he is. And his defensive length is an issue for the other guy

Very encouraging with Mikal lately

Wow wow wow Mikal balling out, on BOTH ends

Josh less playmaking but still aggressive, he's shooting near 40% 3P% for the season, his attacking the paint puts massive pressure on the defense

KAT playing team ball, defense and rebounding

OG is OG

And JB hasn't even got started yet

mikal taking 14 shots and then chasing SGA all over the place...not sure if people realize how much energy that takes to do.

Our defense was better than theirs too

If they didn't have the refs cupping their balls we'd be up by 20

Reminds of the offense Thibs used to with the Bulls with all the cutting and movement in the paint.

First time I’ve seen in awhile that Thibs has directed them to hunt mismatches, the way Mikal started off the game kinda set the tone so far.

Only thing that needs to happen is get KAT more touches.
