And yet somehow he's +1 and JB is -1.

C's extended the lead with JT leading the bench. He has to take better shots.

Call a timeout, Kenny!

Nice response after Cavs cut it to 6.

Man what a great response out of the timeout. Actually shocked we didn’t let them step on our necks.

Horford has been great.

Pritchard gets cooked on defense most of the time but the kid tries

At least the ball isn’t sticking and JT is making plays happen. I don’t understand the starting lineup..it seems like guys play better when they’re mixing and matching with the bench

Tatum might be so locked in that it might be over

Amazing how a layup can get Tatum going..if only he does that more

PP can’t guard Mitchell, need to trap if that happens
