Those second chance points in 4th quarter led to 8-10 points. Way to fight for the boards fellas. Great win tonight much needed against a team ahead of you in the standings. Now one game back of Kings for the 3rd seed.

Felt like we were one of the few teams that didnt have that type of guy. Gary Payton II for the Warriors, Marcus Smart for Boston, Dillon Brooks in Memphis, and of course Holiday in Milwaukee. Hope Okogie can be that kind of defender for us when the whistles stop in the playoffs.

Might have to go back and watch some Wolves vs Dallas games to see how Okogie goes against Luka

Paul 19 assists > VanVleet 15.

My only concern is this Ayton will disappear once KD gets here.

this is the best team game all year imo. didnt rely on book to get 50, cp3 with the casual 19 assist game, role players getting it done.

Even in garbage time Craig can't even take care of the ball. lol

Everyone will, to some degree. That's just how good KD is

I don't think he will. As long as he makes it a point to play with effort he will have an impact. Even with no plays needing to be run for him.

Great win and of course we show KD he made the right choice

Theres a different energy in the building with this win and the KD trade. Can feel it through the screen. It's a good vibe.

Great win. Played really hard and smart (minus Craig) for the whole game really.

Booker/Ayton get game ball for sure but Okogie wow he was an X factor tonight!

Kings are legit team as well. Their not the kangz of old, Mike Brown has changed the culture there.

He can't dribble, or pass. He just needs to be out there hustling and stuff. I don't really want him on the court for the final minutes of important games if we're close. He's too much.

Okogie.. wow.. we really got a good 5th starter

Ayton playing with two guys who average close to 6 assists per night plus another averaging almost 9 should not have a problem scoring.

Spoon-fed.

He won't. He has been due to necessity. KD will take his spot in the last 5
