Except Tucker stood in there, took the charge and likely sent Jones for a concussion check.
Kobe would be getting abused by Zion. P.J. is going to go toe to toe with him. Would be unfair to subject Kobe to that.
A well-observed reality check. Tucker played 24 minutes and finished only minus-2, which is statistical noise. We broke even. PJ kept us in this game. Coach deserves credit for not burying him.
P.J. only missed 1 three. Unfortunately, it came at a bad time. He was motivated tonight and really elevated the defensive play. Him hitting the floor was infectious. If he regains confidence in his shot and Russ comes back with his engine at full throttle, then we are going to see a much different intensity come playoff time. We don't need tons of minutes from those guys, but all go all the time during those minutes.
