Bench unit looks sloppy without PG, but we're playing decent all things considered.

Pacers got a little lucky at the end, stopped playing hard imo...but PG was there when he was needed the most which is very nice to see

Those two missed free throws by Lavoy late that could have extended the lead to 10 almost doomed them.

Nonetheless, great to get win no. 7. The rest of the month is pretty much brutal though.

Disagree. Didn't think we played hard early, but after half I thought the effort was great. Execution down the stretch wasn't great but the effort was I thought. They hit some shots but we matched their physicality better in the 2nd half and multiple times had guys (including PG) diving on the floor. It was a hell of a win. A game that a month ago we would have lost by 20 since we only scored 93. And in this stretch of the schedule all wins are great wins!

You might be right, I just watched the last few minutes again...I guess I was just frustrated with the poor execution and by the last sequence where PG forgot to stay with Westbrook. But you're right, hell of a win, especially going into the tough stretch that is ahead of us.

Buckle up everyone... We're in for one helluva February ride. The outcome will pretty much tell our chances of going deep into playoffs.
