I just finished the game a few minutes ago and it was a terrific win. I know the Wolves left the Rockets open for some 3's and that could have easily bit them but overall I thought it was a pretty goo effort on that end. Ultimately if they play defense like that this season its going to be a good thing.
Dunn had some good moments and that first half stint h was throwing some passes that looked pretty good but either the guy missed the shot or fumbled it. Dunn has now had a blocked shot in 3 straight games and 6 in his last 6 games. He has been compared to Marcus Smart a few times as a physical guy that can defend, but right now he is blocking twice as many shots per 36 as Smart has while also putting up the steal numbers.
Hell of a game for Bazz. He had a couple tunnel vision shots but at least one of those he was probably obviously fouled. I think Thibs was yelling pretty hard about that on at least one of those. he had 7 rebounds, but kept a couple balls alive that don't show up in the box score. he even had an assist! =) On his post ups he has been getting much deeper position. If he is basically in the paint when he goes to his moves its obviously a much better scoring opportunity. Before he was farther out. I think thats partly because the way the offense has worked its enabled him to get deeper. Lets hope he keeps up this good play.
