I liked what I saw from Ayo. We played good basketball, had good defense again by the end. We just came out so flat at half and we allowed them to crawl back and make it a game 2 minutes before end.
If someone will argue with me that last was neccesary and will say you can't play hard 48 minutes. I am just asking you not give up lead 2 minutes before end of game after winning 97% of the game. Randle hits that FT after 2and1 and this might be loss.
I must rewatch whole 3rd to beginning of 4th quarter again. And see why we can't make any stops for 15+ minutes
We can all be happy for the win, and also question the performance in the 3rd quarter. We talked about this with the Warriors drubbing, how they put you away in THAT quarter and we were becoming known as a 4th quarter attack squad. How they came out against the Magic, is how they need to go against the league, every night. Switch that 4th Quarter mindset to the 3rd and let that ride.
I think Billy should've rode Vocch for all of Mitch's minutes
