I feel like we played a pretty good first half but kept shooting ourselves in the foot with the fouls. Pretty good ball movement, 3s started falling, DA is staying aggressive, getting deflections on defense but giving up 3s and fouling.

DA was easily our best player in the half, Cam's shot started falling, Carter hit a couple, Crowder was solid on both ends and Stix gave us some good possessions in limited minutes. Paul is really wearing me out crawling up the court with the ball and overdribbling. He gets his assists but we should be playing a lot faster and putting pressure on the defense. Instead, he takes 8 seconds walking the ball upcourt, dribbling for another 8 and then we're rushing for a shot with the defense set. Crowder picked up an offensive foul because of Paul's overdribbling. Just bring the ball up and get into the offense. This is where Monty needs to be the coach and let Paul know about that sort of stuff.

living and dying by the 3 it seems. really hope they mix it up with ayton in the 4th. not sure why you would risk bridges for that last few possesions.

The dribble drive from the top with a baseline backdoor cut is open every time against these zone defenses. Hell, backdoor cuts are open most of the time against any NBA defense these days.

Bridges scoreless all night and in foul trouble comes back in with 4minutes left in the 4th and hits a 3 and then drives past Murray baseline for a lay-in to give us the lead.
