Random thoughts on the game:
Chase Buddinger looked like he was still bent out of shape re:the dunk contest. Evans looked extra dunk happy, and played solid.
It was good to see that we didn't miss Millsap. Not him personally, but we are fine without one of our bigs.
As mentioned, Harris played his game (penetration & breaks), maybe he should get the flu more often.
Burks plays with insane confidence and played well on both ends. He got some unexpected boards and is looking more and more like a steal.
Favor's played great D. Al was lacking, and sometimes it's amazing how he misses rebounds sometimes due to no effort, or like he doesn't realize he could box out???
Al was passing quickly. I kept dreading we would go into Al iso mode and throw away the game, but he committed early to shoot quick or kick it out. His 5 assists are good evidence for this. Also the offense was moving a lot, there were times that it stagnated, but they were few.
Josh Howard is a crafty veteran on defense and a pretty smart overall player. He had some great hustle play. He is back to his pre-injury form these past few games.
It was nice to see CJ playing with confidence. He had a good shot selection tonight. He was an important part of that second unit that struggles to score.
