Shoot 3 ball all the time, and always complain and don’t go back to defense

Just not a fan of Maxi at the 5. I get why they do it but he has zero presence inside.

PJ missed corner three then Maxi missed on top and finally Kyrie got a wide open 3 and missed.
I cannot defend the defensive lapses much but offensively if you miss 3 clutch open-3s then you cannot win the game.

So many easy calls on Van Fleet.
Good thing that Kyrie recognized this and got the call back.

All offensive possessions were against Van Fleet eith Exum and mostly Kyrie. And final one is 4v3 finishing with Kleber-PJ duo !!! Thanks to Luka drawing two.

Luka with bleeding Knees looks concerning though. Please rest him next games

That hug and embrace with Luka and Kyrie and then the rest of the team at the end of the game is one of the best photo shots of the year. Love this team.

Don't know where to start and where to end - so many things to look at from the disastrous start to the incredible finish.
But this might have been the best win of the season yet? Ky and Luka arm in arm completed exhausted as the clock expires kind of captures the whole team atmosphere

Huge difference having Exum on the floor in clutch than THJ. Lively also needs to get back ASAP.

Without Lively, we cannot cover 48 min.. Gafford -26 in 15 min with 5 fouls. Maxi again did a good job defending

I think if we had Lively, these games would be a little easier. I also think Green can hit a couple more 3's for us.

I can't believe that we won this game! I was screaming like crazy when Exum hit the 3.
It's a shame that the Clippers managed to win in Denver and come back against Cleveland. So many close calls for the Clippers in the last few games. Also the improbable come back against Philly. Looks like the Mavs are staying 5th.

Let's give credit to Maxi this game. A lot of games I egg on Kidd for giving him too much minutes but this game, he earned all 30 minutes he played.

I had a gut feeling it'd be a tough game.
Kyrie basically brought the game back in the second quarter and then on the 4th quarter.
Luka himself at times has just been floored by Kyrie's talent... what he did today was unreal.
Imagine having Luka and having to double another guy.
And yeah, maybe just a small coincidence... or not... but Lively's energy is missed. Although Maxi did have solid plays. Him and Pj Washington had a great sequence at the end.
Sucks that the Clippers somehow won.

Magic number to clinch a top 6 seed: 2
Once we get there I hope they just rest Luka the rest of the season. I'd rather get 6 because I think Denver is getting 1 seed.
