    Awful first half. Strong 3rd and then this when there's zero room for error


    Finished with a deceptive 15 & 10. Has to be better then 6-16/2-7 on a night he's the 3rd best offensive player because there's no one else.

    Like Rui, really bounced back in a strong way. Those shooting numbers don't get much more efficient than that.

    That Euro step fade away was niiiiice

    I think AR finishes the year very strong now that he doesn't have to play PG anymore.
    He's going to have significantly more energy for defense and cutting off ball now

    AR will prove to be the real winner in the Dinwiddie acquisition. I anticipate his play will rise with the emergence of another ballhandler/playmaker.

    He was channeling every ounce of Showtime magic he could muster up in this one.

    Sorry but shots like that should count.

    No clue how he did that one



    Caught 'em sleeping. Love the fire. Reverse angle replay is even more impressive when you watch him make a read and mad sprint to the ball.

    Nice overall night as our #3 scorer

    What a joy to watch.
    And some were afraid he was going to get traded at the deadline.

    For defensive purposes, I think he should add some muscle this summer, so he can’t be pushed around.
