Seems like this should be an easy win, we take 4 of the 5 starting positional matchups. In MSG so it'll be a high profile game, need to start 2019 with a big win.

High profile game should provide motivation - last year not so much; but this year, I believe.

Oops, yes it is. Not as much motivation, but I still hope they're motivated.

Malik Beasley leads the scoring tonight, Joker has a TD and Millsap getting back to form with 17pts. Nice to see Harris back in limited minutes, he'll probably be up to speed when we need him.

OK, a win is a win. And after all, why complain about anything if Millsap and Harris are back again, Jokic makes triple-double, and Beasley proved his breakthrough is real with 3rd over 20 points game in last 4, for a player which never did it anytime before?

Defense was not good, but good enough to win.
Offense was much better than the last few games. There was more movement, although they could do even more. Jokic's 15 assists and the team's total of 36 assists are the great indicator. BTW, only 8 turnovers - very nice!

Weird stat: Jokic had 3 blocks.

Jokic is the only player in basketball history in which case for 19-14-15-3 game is not news 15 assists but 3 blocks :lol:

And these 15 assists are mostly the product of Plumlee playing once again limited minutes with him on the floor after Millsap is back. Of course, nobody expecting now from Jokic doing such games every time, but the fact is that during Millsap injury Jokic averages less than 7 assists and over 4 turnovers.
