Jaden doesn't have any fouls, he can beat the shit out of Luka in the 3rd.

He did, but when you go 4 for 4 on threes, it works out. Cool. i think we're working hard on defense, and it's showing up in the box score...39% shooting for Dallas, and most shots contested.

I'm not as confident as I normally am with a 12 point halftime lead.

We need Karl Anthony Towns shooting at a HIGHER percentage. Simply not good enough him going 3 from 11, especially after going 6 from 20 last game.

Good first half, woulda been great if not for the final 3 min or so. DAL can score quickly in bunches so they need to come out with a punch to start the 3rd.

Yeah, I get that. Neither KAT nor Ant are shooting well again. Neither are Luka and Kyrie. Something's likely to change somewhere in there, so this game could be different in the second half. With a lead, that's not necessarily a good thing.

Gotta tighten up the D as a safety net, regardless of what happens on offense. Meanwhile, we should try to get KAT and Ant going in the second half if we can without making bad decision.

The shooting will turn around this half. Ant and KAT will get going. Same with NAW and Jaden.

Why isn't Rudy contesting any drives by Dallas.

CONTEST A SHOT RUDY. What is wrong with him.

Jaden's shot is flat
