    I still think the OT the Bucks played the night before contributed to their 1st half malaise, they had to battle a surprisingly stubborn Hornets team to win in overtime. Winning that hard fought game made them less than ready to immediately compete again which redound to our benefit

    Even though the Laker game didn’t go into OT, our lead guys played about the same minutes as the Bucks the night before. Plus we had a flight and they got to go home and sleep in their own beds. If anything, I think we had the bigger disadvantage.

    yeah, i really thought we were going to look like the bucks did in the first half, so good on the team to dig down and pull out another unexpected win.

    Exactly, plus we've been bouncing all over the country. This is the game a lot of teams would be mailing in. Going to give our guys credit for this one.

    Outstanding win and I agree the vibes are great on the team. Dominant Luka performance and rock solid Ayton and AR. Some fantastic D in the first half to take the big lead and we kept it at double digits or close to for the rest of the game, Nice to beat a team by 20 plus. Love that they got the game ball for the rookie Thiero. That slam and the bench reaction!

    I’m sorry, but these are professional athletes who are in the .005% of most fit humans on the planet.
    Whining about “being tired” is just pathetic loser mentality.
    When I played soccer as a youth, I remember playing two games a day in a specific tournament in which the afternoon match was played in over 100 degree temperatures. The coaching staff reminded us several times that “we had to just fight through it.” We also weren’t making a range of then thousands up to hundreds of thousands per game.
    The NBA has become so soft.

    How about that “White Out” lineup of Luka, Austin, Jake, Maxi and someone else last night?
    Too bad Dalton wasn’t in there with them to make the quota watchers really lose their minds!

    That was pretty awesome. Say what you want about Giannis but he is a stand up guy.
