Not a good shot by Jackson, but he hit it! Another steal and fast break bucket gives us the lead back! 1:10 to go

What a performance by Oubre tonight. Great games by Melton, Holmes, and Daniels as well.

That follow jam by Oubre was just sensational. Play of the season so far.

I checked the score around the third quarter and decided to watch Netflix instead. Just checked again and we won?! Sweet.

Wow!

I know I never post, but what little I saw of this game is what keeps me so optimistic of this team.
Once they adhere to that defense consistently, the sky is the limit.
The thing I think I loved the most was the synergy they seemed to have.


If they all could keep that level consistently, Booker becomes extremely superfluous

Melton’s best game of the season, I think. He was in total control in the 2nd half.

I love the amorphousness of our team, ESPECIALLY our forwards. We could legitimately have a lineup of Ayton and 4 small forwards if we wanted to be crazy.

WCS’s 15/7/3/3/3/.545 has been matched four times in NBA history: Anthony Davis (2x), Jusuf Nurkic, and, um... Kyle Anderson.

Fun with filters.

But I bet he’s the only one to miss two free throws in the final 10 seconds of the game

That was an awesome 3rd quarter. Just when I was about ready to write them off.

Yup.

Actually, in one of the games, AD missed a potentially tying free throw with 31 seconds to play and the Pels lost by 3. So, so close to matching WCS.
