Loved the total team effort. Despite Lauri struggling a bit and our 3 ball not dropping, we looked like we were going to win this game right from the start.
Few pointers:
- We gotta get Kessler back.... and back to form. Lauri wrestling with Ayton wasnt it, and Collins cannot defend true bigs. Dont know if he had a bad shooting day by chance or if the wrestling part hurt his shooting but it was all over the place.
- Despite the night looking rough for Lauri, he still had 21/9. I sometimes wonder how on earth that just happens.
- JC has really settled down ever since Keyonte took the start. Keyonte slows down the pace like a real PG and doesnt spaz at all, which is exactly what we needed.
- I feel like Keyonte should have had 10+ assists. Im gonna go check the tracking numbers once they are up and post them.
- Sexton finally got out of his rut and posted his best game thus far imo. Kept his head up, didnt spaz constantly and got 7 assists instead of bulldozing for a blocked shot at the rim. Team high +14 and stuffed the stat sheet.
- Ochai 2nd positive game in a row. Didnt hit a 3 but did just about everything else well and looked like a menace on defense at times. Only 1 foul also!!
