An absolute monster performance from Ayton. Hopefully we can chill the Ayton is trash/not worth the max/ let’s trade him talk after the game. ;)
Guy is still inconsistent but less so every year.
Too bad we can't pay him based on his per game performance.

I would pay him, and note that he is doing this without CP3. That little turnaround hook makes him into a go to guy.

I'm very glad to lose my bet on the Wolves. I missed the entire second half from about the middle of the third onward, so I'll really enjoy checking out this replay.

DLo, KAT and Book are all competitive. I'm sure they all talk mad trash while playing Call of Duty online.
I'm sure they are just glad to be playing for some and while I dislike Pat Bev with a passion, he has helped them become a less soft team.

I love this team and that dunk on dlo was great. He looked like he wanted to kill the poor guy afterwards

Good "character win" against the Wolves. We played tough, kept our cool and turned it up in the 3rd into the 4th. They're like last year's Clippers, with less talent. The refs were awful, which led to a lot of frustration and techs. It feels like we're being tested by the refs and forced to play thru a lot of BS before they really let us get going.

TWolves couldn't hold DA in the post. 35 and 14, controlled the middle all night. Even those the TWolves outrebounded us, they're too small inside and no one they had bothered DA.

Payne was steady as usual and had some really nice drives to the basket. Love when he's aggressive going to the basket and using his floater in the lane. 9 assists and only 1 TO.

Great shooting game from Shamet. When he's shooting like that, I don't think any team can keep up with us offensively. We have 60 wins without him making most of his shots, if he can give us 3-4 threes a game? Big difference.

Mikal a little quiet but had a nice stretch scoring the ball off the dribble and then knocked down some 3s. Also did a great job guarding on the perimeter, came up with a nice steal on Edwards late in the game.

I am at half time and I am beyond pissed. Book gets rode out of bounds and that’s a travel on him?! I need to settle down. Will check in after the game.

It was on Bridges, but it looked like they called it on Book.

I guess KAT actually got 3 rebounds, not 1. Credit where credit is due.
