In the 2nd half and OT, D-Will went 3-7 for 7 points, 5 assists, and 4 TOs. He was getting lit up by Jennings, who was just making some ridiculous circus shots even when D-WIll was playing good defense. But he was also getting broken down way too easily off the dribble.

D-Will also hit a clutch jumper with about 2 minutes left, he was the one who found JJ for the 3 pointer to tie the game, and 2 of his TOs were some of the worst offensive foul calls I've seen...blatant flop by Jennings on one, and then a full 5 second delay before the foul call after Ellis sticks his head in Deron's airspace and basically dares him to swing his elbows around...I thought that was an unwritten rule in basketball, if you stick your head that close to a person, then you have to deal with the consequences. And Ellis flopped too, he acted like he got shot.

Overall, I wouldn't say it was a terrible 2nd half, and I wouldn't say it was a great 2nd half. It was about average, maybe a little better. He did play a great 1st half, and all in all, it was a good game from him, much better than we've seen recently. He was definitely moving better, but by how much, I'm not sure. He still lacked his general explosion off the dribble, but he was shaking Jennings and Ellis a lot easier than he was Steve Nash in the Lakers game, so that's a great sign.
