I'll give it to my man Serge Ibaka

Close between Vuc and Payton for me, and I choose out of those two because DJ and Biyombo weren't effective this game and the game changed when they played. Whiteside was killing Biyombo and while Vuc played him better, he was just on tonight, but Vuc played outstanding otherwise.

Payton hit 4 clutch free throws and made key assists to Ibaka and Fournier late while playing pretty damn good defense on Dragic, so I'll pick him.

Tough call, could got to any of Vucevic, Payton, or Ibaka. Gave it to Vucevic because he was consistently great for us on both ends tonight. Thought he was our best defender tonight and really carried our offense at moments throughout the game.

Credit to Ibaka for hitting big shots and the shot to send the game to OT. Payton was aggressive most of the night and really set the tone.

Vuc for getting us back in the game in the 4th quarter with 7 points in about a minute (that 3 pointer was huge for momentum). Then keeping us in it in the first OT with 5 pts (only magic player to make field goals smh). Played good defense on Whiteside in 2OT. 18 pts and 10 reb after halftime. +15 for the game.

Vuc gets this one from me. He got us back in the game and played hard on both ends.

Payton was equally good, but Vuc gets it for that manly 7 point unanswered run he went on.

Ibaka did well when we needed him at the end. Would've been nice if he'd done a bit more earlier on so we didn't need him as much down the stretch.

Shout out to the most hated player on the team, Mr Green. He had a couple big clutch plays for us, too.

I think Vuc and EP should get matching vests because they both were the reason we won this game and they are both the most hated on this board for some reason.

Jodie Meeks!

lol.....jk! imma go with vuc.... who played the best defense on our team on Whiteside..... and powered us through on the offensive end!...Single handingly carrying as times. But there were a lot to love about those 4.

Just realized today is Tuesday... and we won... again. We're still undefeated on Tuesdays.

And that means...

Spoiler:

Also, if you round up our fg% it's 50%. We're undefeated when we shoot 50% or better.

7-0 between the Tuesday and 50% trends.

I know he wasn't our best player tonight but that Ibaka prayer won it for me.

Fournier had an excellent game and he will come 4th in this poll. That show a real team presence.

Vuc plays better when he has a few games rest. Just another example of why they should restrict his minutes.

I went with Nik, Biz was getting owned by Whiteside for much of the first half.

Could we have won without his free throws?

I think Vuc. He just loves playing against Mia.

What? He's 26 years old. Why would we restrict his minutes?
