Not a game we're used to winning. The guys are growing up.

Howl!!!

Due to tiebreakers we now sit at the top of the Western conference

KAT has been on a tear. Is it not possible for him and Ant to both play really well in the same game!? Ant underwhelming AGAIN tonight, but came up with some big shots in the 4th.

He is a walking top 10 defense, but also a walking bottom half offense with all his fumbles, bumbles, and missed free throws. He was overall pretty damn good tonight, but I hold my breath every time they throw it to him in the paint or he goes to the line.

KAT was very good again. But all of a sudden we started to get stops, and that let us back in the game. And then to have the stones to close was very impressive.

Gutsy win! Pels were making shots lights out in the first half. KAT and Ant limited by foul trouble. I disliked some of the ref calls. Ant's charge was not a charge. Finch is sometimes too reluctant to challenge.

4-1 road trip. Outstanding!

...and then he picked up a tech in an odd moment of the game where I didn't even know what he was so upset about. Lost us a point and not sure it served any larger purpose.

Oddly I felt we were going to win this all night. I dont like that we just decide to pick up our play at the end of the game and not earlier. This team is pretty damn good.

Also as to resting players, I dont think they need rest. These guys get treatment like no others. I am not worried at all about workload. In fact I think resting players in the NBA is a joke. If MJ can play every night and win championships with way less resources than these guys have then they certainly can as well. I love Ants view on this.

Also hell of a game from Kat. He was amazing tonight and carried us.
