At its worst, our point differential on the season was -4.8, if I remember right. It's -1.9 right now.

Yeah, there were close wins -- but there were very few losses. We're up 148 points in the last 20 games. +7.4 per game. On the season as a whole, only Utah is better than that.

Been saying all year that this is the best team in the NBA!

Brooks attempted to manage Beal’s minutes in the first half, but he was given the green light from the team’s medical staff to set him free in the second. Beal played 20:58 of his 34:37 after halftime.

We did what we had to do

Going to defend myself a little for my comments earlier in the thread (during the game)
about the wisdom of Beal playing after reading the quote from him in today's WaPo
in which he himself questioned the wisdom of it. In any case, glad it worked out
and hopefully no seriously detrimental after effects.
