Solid win. Pop did some interesting things with the rotation in this one but it worked and you can't argue with the end result.
The good:
Kawhi - Dude is flat out unstoppable. That and 1 finish on Gobert in the 3rd was unreal and Kawhi just did an all around amazing job on the offensive end. He scored from every spot on the floor and took over the game. His defense was strong as always, that come from behind block was amazing. Plus he really saved our bigs some embarrassment a couple times with his quick hands.
Patty - Great all around game from him. He opened up the floor for LMA and Kawhi and just did his thing. I love how he isn't shy about knocking downing three's in transition.
LMA - Not his flashiest game, but he did his thing and scored some timely buckets.
Manu - Had a couple bad Manu moments but he got some high quality buckets at the rim and didn't try to do too much.
The bench - Lee (i'm shocking pleased with his play so far) and Dedmon were outstanding in limited minutes, Simmons didn't have the best game but he got the rim at will and either drew fouls or collapsed the defense.
The bad:
-Honestly no real complaints about this one. The only glaring mistake I can remember us making was that horrid defensive sequence that ended with an easy Favors dunk early in the first.
Also was nice to see Murray get a little time. Kid is so quick and shifty with the ball, he needs to add some weight but if he's committed to improving he's going to be a player.
