Nice win
As expected, with Damon not being able to get it going, JV has resumed the (true-sized) back-up PG spot. Quite fine by me, and is the right move. Still nice to have Damon on the bench for depth purposes, though. 7 pts, the usual defense, offensive differing from Jacques = good game for JV.
Finley played just awesome tonight, easily one of his top games of the year, and maybe his best game of the season.
Tony was below-average, still hitting some shots, rebounded, and assisted well, but with Finley coming out strongly, his being off was affordable. I like that with his shot being off Tony played significantly in other areas of the game.
Tim played a strong game overall, wasn't a lot offensively, but definitely did enough there, and was just excellent defensively. Tonight was a great example of why Tim deserves a DPOY award.
Manu was Manu - great, scored from everywhere, defended, faciltated
Definitely liked how Bruce and Ime played between the two of them
Obviously Nelson AND Hedo going out helped, but I'd lean to us still winning anyway. The Magic still competed well without them to the latter part of the 4th, but we controlled a pretty good deal of the 2nd half.
