Cam Johnson looking like Scottie Pippen on the steal and drive ...

Payne looking like he’s figuring it out. Great to see.

Biyombo has been quite a pick up. Was the spark they needed on D to mount the comeback

Biyombo was terrific tonight - 17 points, 14 rebounds in 25 minutes.

Really good win. Thought we were out of sync for a lot of it but still won easy. Booker was great obviously and Biyombo’s energy was infectious.

Second unit guys-- Biyombo and CamX2-- gave the team a boost.

The Book and Biyombo show most of the night. Very hard fought game thru three quarters, but the bench was the difference with the Cams and Biyombo. Then CP went to work on switches in the 4th and the Spurs eventually missed a few shots for us to break away.

Book's just been on another level. The variety of ways he can score, now with 3s, makes him as unguardable as anyone.

Shame he couldn’t hit his two three pointer attempts at the end.

I’ve watched a bunch of Spurs games this year. They’re really bad at closing out games - no great options when the game bogs down and they need a bucket. All we needed to win was to be in striking distance for Paul-Booker time.

First quarter. White pokes Book in the eye. Sean Elliot laughs and says, “Right now Devin Booker is NBA royalty. You can’t lay a hand on him.”

JaVale really does fatigue after a few minutes which really isn't anything to be too critical of. Just though as EJ says it leads to him committing fouls cause he is then late on rotations

Biz on the other hand I find is really sharp in this area, really does a good job of help n recover. Glad we have both and again think because of Book n CP3 maybe we might have still found a way to win but I feel this was one of those wins that mainly because of our new center depth
