Damn what a bizarre game SAS. Had this one circled on my calendar after my recent moves.

1. Chet fouled out guarding Jokic after only 8 minutes, but was +11 in those 8 minutes, helping us have a 14 point lead after 1Q.
2. Looks like Grant Williams guarded Jokic after Chet went out, as Williams fouled out after 15 minutes but was +6 in those minutes.
3. Duren played 44 minutes.
4. We shot 10 percentage points lower than SAS (48 to 58).
5. We only had 6 TOs to SAS's 18.
6. After all of that, we only lost by 3 at the defending champs. Let's see how we fare not facing a Jokic...
