That's twice now that Felts has made the right decision with the clock running down. He's blown by his guy but rather than trying to do it all himself, he's waited for the D to collapse and he's kicked it to the open shooter in the corner.

Unfortunately both DJ and Ammo let him down by missing the shots.

Still, good to see Felts make the right decision.

I am not happy with Diaw's TO's, but I will take them with the rest of the package he brings us. Take the limited bad with a great deal of good.

Diaw and DJ playing well. Ray and Okafor playing OK as well. Just long as we can hold Redd from an explosion of scoring, we can win this one tonight.

Boris looking great slashing.

He's not posting up and backing his defender down as much using his dribble tonight. He's just going straight at them and is getting good results doing it.

EO50 sealing CV off deep in the paint, the whole team is recognizing it and are getting the ball into him quickly and he is scoring with ease.

Should have been doing it all game Emeka and you should have 20pts going into the 4th.

SICK ball movement inside to out then whipping it around the arc with two quick passes to the open Crash in the corner for the 3.

5 secs left on the shot clock, ball in the hands of a rookie and he is stuck in the corner...........and Howard fouls him?

He's meant to be the good decision making vet?

That was terrible!

Much better game than last night! Great way to bounce back from a crappy defeat is to get a solid victory. Very happy to see good games from Diaw (except the TO's) Crash, Okafor, DJ and Ray.

And it's a good thing we won tonight. Our next two games are Boston and Cleveland, so we are about to embark on a 2 game losing streak. Needed to win tonight.

LB's post game:

We played and defended better. We cut our turn overs down. Howard gave us a big lift. Hammer defended much better. Crash and Boris played really good games - especially in the 2nd half. After last night, today was a long day.

Didn't like the way the game ended (giving up a 20 point lead and only winning by 10). Didn't want to take Lexy out but had to because they closed the gap.

We very rarely have a great 1st qtr. Tonight we at least kept it close in the 1st and built on it in the 2nd.

Crash and EO50 got aggressive in the 2nd half which helped us.

Boris flirts with a triple double every day. He can guard bigs and littles. Very versatile.

You can't put a figure on the value of Howard and Nazzy to the team. Nazzy works with EO50 on his post moves, Howard is a positive influence on the bench, Howard can make shots, doesn't make mistakes. Before Howard came we had no secondary options at the 4. We'd have to play Dude or Crash there. Having Howard means Crash can stay at the 3.

LB loves guys who can provide input on how to do things better - Howard does that. He's also great with the young guys.
