We're playing at 90% 70% of the time....that's an improvement

Another low usage night for Jaden. So frustrating

NAZ gets buckets

Nice start to the 4th quarter. I know many here don't dislike Ant's defense as much as I do, but I've been frustrated again tonight...so many buckets by Ant's man. Not surprising that this run is happening with him on the bench. Let's bring this one home!

Donte finally hits a trey! His overall game has been terrific tonight, but we need his shooting too.

Very good win against a team that just beat the Pistons on the road and had won their last 4. Ant, Naz and Ju were the offensive stars, but this win was more about defense, and we brought it tonight for the most part. Nice to see us outwork our opponent!

When we survive both the non-Rudy minutes and the Ant minutes, we're usually going to win...and tonight we did both. We were a +6 when Rudy was on the bench (thank you, Naz) and a +1 when Ant was on the court (+9 when he was on the bench).

I really don't like Ant's defense, but I love the way he praises his teammates in his post-game comments. Tonight he shouted out Naz and Donte, and he was right...they were both terrific! Let's repeat this energy against the Wizards tomorrow!

Impressive win on a night we shot only 29% from 3. The 3-ball can mask a lot of problems when they're going in, so it's good to see a win because we did a bunch of other stuff well.

I guess we started January off right!

I had to take a break from the game and just finished up watching it. I can't say Bones played really well, but Finch played him 21 minutes, which would be the 7th man. Conley got his predetermined 15 minutes as 8th man and Clark got the half.

This was a really nice win playing against a hot Heat team. It sure would be nice to put an exclamation mark on this back-to-back with a win against the Wizards tomorrow.

Oh, and both the Spurs and Rockets lose tonight. Happy New Year!

I didn’t watch the game but I noticed that Bones was +16 so he was doing something right. In contrast, I think Mike Conley was a +2 in his 15 minutes. Great to get the win. I’ll have to watch the replay.

Good all around team win, really had the right balance of how the ball was distributed on offense. I'm not counting on it but Rudy and Ant really showed a pretty cool connection and I hope they can develop a two man game- Ant and Randle too. Again not counting on it

Naz really took this one personally and played really hard on both ends after an awful awful game against Atlanta.

Jaden has been through a bit of slump lately and this one was a bump in the right direction- really good defense from him tonight.

That pass from Rudy from the top of the key was sick, I wonder if that's something they can unlock more of or if it's a one off... Probably the later.

All in all a really good win against a good team
