Beautiful quarter close there. Nice 16-3 run to regain control.

Good finish to the quarter but they have to clean up the small stuff. It's killing them

Fultz with the extra pass to WCJ for the 3 before the buzzer. Beautiful stuff.

This is what I mean, you got to read the game not the clock.... If things aren't looking good sub some of the starters back in earlier

Now that's how you close a quarter! Really love the character of this ball club.

Honestly if we can rebound better in the 2nd half and attack the paint more, we'll run away with this. Very confident with our team personally.

Just punished this team in the paint... my lord...

Suggs is a menace. He can be a star, still

His thumb is probably bothering him and I am assuming he doesn’t want surgery.

My thing is you can't always run a 2nd unit that long. Bring those young kids in and run them. Orlando needs to stay hyperaggressive on D and on the break so you risk some cooling down if you keep them on the bench too long.

They stopped hitting 3s when Suggs/Fultz came back in.

Mosley better light a fire under the asses of the 2nd in it tonight. None of those guys deserve minutes over the starters tonight, and they may not deserve them over the 3rd unit.

Without Simons, Sharpe is cooking. I wonder if POR thinks those 2 can play together or they need to get rid of Simons to unleash Sharpe?

Yes, noticed that. That's why I like Black out there with Cole, he's another menace on D and the second unit needs that.
