Kuzma

The Kendrick Nunn era has begun. But the POTG was Kuz. With an assist to the tanking Rox coaching staff.

Kuzma- honorable mention to Nunn.

Clearly Kuz. Also Brad looks injured and really off.

Kuzma. Those 3 clutch 3s in the 4th quarter were crucial.

Kuzma fairly easily.

Nunn played much better in the second half, had a monster jam, and did some other things aside from scoring with 4 board, 4 assists, and 2 steal.

Deni was very active and I think played a lot better than a 4-13 night would suggest. One of those misses was that blatant goaltend to end the first half and two were tough tip shots on offensive boards that were more about him staying active than anything else. Three pointer is still a major work in progress but I like that he's taking them. Aside from shooting he was good defensively aside from what I felt were a couple of tough calls by the refs, which I don't negate him for.

Gafford and Kispert both bounced back and played much better in the second half after not so great first halves.

The big numbers of the night were that we had 13 steals, 7 blocks, and only 7 turnovers as a team. I'd have to imagine that is an excellent steal-to-turnover ratio.

But alas, this is Kuzma's. He was excellent in the fourth quarter, much to do with him taking better shots. I also felt he played some of the better defensive ball I've seen from in awhile. Didn't feel like we had too many of those plays were he just gets blown by defenders because he's playing that overly aggressive, for show defense.

My vote is Nunnya business.

Gotta give it to Kendrick Nunn.

In 22 minutes he affected the game enormously -- above all in the first 5 minutes of the 4th quarter. In that short stretch, Nunn had

2 steals,
2 offensive rebounds,
3 assists -- 2 of them on 3-point makes
1 defensive rebound
& went 2-2 from the floor.

Basically, he won the game for us in those 5 minutes.
