SGA just started forcing that was weird and zero timeouts

Maybe teams are deciding to just play the clock and hope that Thibs’ rotations kill JB and the team’s energy late

Don't send help on SGA, he's not one of these guys like Luka, Brunson or Donovan who will try and put 60-70 on you if you don't help. He's an elite scorer that has yet to score 50, it's like how KD has never scored 60.

Bridges has given SGA fits all game. It’s Hart who can’t handle him.

Man, our wings cause so many problems for teams. You can’t guard everyone. Always a mismatch somewhere

Somehow we got OG and Mikal going at the same time. Scary times ahead.

Bridges doesn’t need any help on SGA unless he gets screened off.

This Nova Mikal. Down to the off ball movement. Considered better player than Brunson at the time. Stupid efficient..

I just hope the refs don’t have a quick whistle in the 2nd half… I know Towns has been getting hacked but overall I think they’ve been pretty consistent tonight on both sides with allowing physical play
