Giannis is still not in complete form, but we can all see he's still improving as well. Just made 2 3pointers so far.

Yes, the best players play more minutes in the playoffs, but Toronto's great second unit adds flexibility that they'll need. Their weakest starters (Val and OG) don't need to play heavy minutes at all and can be swapped out in bad matchups.
Regardless, their hopes rest on whether Lowry and Derozan can shake off their postseason struggles.

Kemba just shook Covington out his shoes
There have been several embarrassing miscommunications on defense from the Hornets these last few minutes though

Kemba challenged Embiid at the rim, didn't go well.

I swear that’s the first 3 point shot I’ve seen Westbrook make since that game winner against Sacramento... I’m sure that’s not true, but that’s how it seems - lol...
