Finch A+

That is all. To have the balls to bench and then Ant to pay him back with ball movement (besides that one 3) and that block.


Credit to the guys for finding a way. Not doing full grades because players like Naz probably deserved a C- but would get an A+ in my grades

I have to mention Slim, NAW, Shannon, and Dilly. Very encouraging win.

Those 4 were amazing.

Ant apparently tweaked his calf. But still, it gave Finch an excuse to bench him even though Ant could have played through it - and obviously did later in OT.

I agree though with singling out Finch and by extension his staff. That zone with NAW and Jaden up top, but everyone else doing their job on the backside was absolutely the key to winning that game. That's a scheme that perfectly fit the personnel and made it so that SGA couldn't just go one on one and hunt for fouls. Brilliant.

First time in NBA history that a team on the road down 20+ going into the 4th came back to win against a team above an .800 winning percentage
