Tres Lyles should NOT be taking that sort of shot. But I like his lob to Rudy

Ayo didn't impact the game with scoring, but he was really good too.

Agreed. Played with great pace and defense

Obviously early in the season but they are playing with this pace and the intensity on defense is still there.

Loving Finch rotations. Guys getting extended rest

Love it when the camera isn't caught up while we're attacking the rim

Finch can't resist playing Lyles because he's a "knows what he's doing" type player where being in the right spots and making the right play almost matters more to Finch than the talent and results. Kinda like SloMo and Conley, who Finch LOVED despite their declining abilities.

Beringer has had fantastic “gortat” screens

Overall I am happy to see the defense being consistent from 1st game to this one. I am also glad to see the offense getting it done in a different way than last game. These are key indicators.
