Yeah sloppy but gritty. I liked Teague coming up big.

From losing every close game, to being the team to make just enough late plays to gut them out. It is refreshing.

The only thing I'm not happy about - Air Canada not forcing Winslow into early retirement due to a crash landing.

Yes. That is something easily overlooked. Winning close games was something we could not do last year.

It's nice to get some wins while we are in the "building chemistry" stretch!

Are we sure this is a "building chemistry" stretch as opposed to a "these are mismatched parts" stretch?

Wow! We might be the only West team to prevent a sweep by the East!!!

Sixers beat the Rockets
Hornets beat the Griz
Celtics beat the Spurs
Knicks beat the Nuggets
Magic beat the Pelicans

That's a lot of very nice wins for the East!

Wow, crazy game. Great win.

- We played like lazy dogs in the first quarter. Miami was simply out working us.

- I thought KAT's defense was solid this game. He still made a couple of poor decisions, but the effort was there and he made some nice plays.

- Waiters made both Wiggins and Butler look a little silly at times. That guy has blossomed into a kinda dangerous scorer in Miami.

- Wiggins' 4th quarter dunk....Wow. What I loved most about it is he went left!!!!

- KAT's made a couple of those really clutch corner 3s late in games.

- Butler is still feeling his way offensively.

- Teague was horrible in the first quarter and was part of our crappy start. Give him credit for coming up huge thereafter. He made some big plays late and sunk both free throws to put the game away for good in OT.

- I continue to be amazed at how teams shoot 2-point jumpers against us. I need to look up the stat, but it feels like we get killed by long and mid-range 2's. These are shots you want the other team to take, but jeebus, it feels like guys go nuts on us with those looks. The good news is we are doing a much better job defending the 3 these last couple of games. Miami and OKC both shot poorly from beyond the arc.
