Did Mazzulla call any timeouts in that 3rd quarter?

Close this quarter out strong! Don’t lose to this team missing their best player. These are games you should win so the players can rest down the stretch of the season if things go as planned

TJ just changed the flow of the game.

Cs responded.

That's all you can ask for.

Well that BLOB play worked very nicely.
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

Pretty early in the quarter. Lead down to 3 I think.

If only Oshae could hit those open 3's at a higher clip.

As it is, he makes enough positive impact wis his defense, energy and rebounding that the lack of shooting/scoring doesn't really hurt us at least.

Gotta do something with the ball quicker, JB. It's a hot potato!

Jrue has a quiet 16 pts. Much needed.
