This game was the Western Conference final twice in the past three years!

But whatever happens today it will be overshadowed by historic LeBron James achievement as the first ever NBA player who scored 40.000 points.

BTW, KCP will not play today vs the former team, and maybe Murray too.

MPJ was perfect from the field. Great team win with KCP out.

Another MVP game for Jokic, 24-6-11 Murray was sensational in 2nd half, MPJ not just had his third 25+10+ game in the last 5 games but was 10-10 fg perfect (including 5 threes), Gordon was nearly 20-10-5... but most of all it encourages that we won another clearly playoff level away game in 2024 vs motivated opponent. We are 100% ready for the playoff, I can say it at this point only for us, the Celtics and Clippers.

The only real deficit...AGAIN, the bench needs to be stronger so we don't have to rely on our starters so much. Holiday was a surprise and PWat showed up but not much else to even mention

Bench does not have a true 6th man and that was a decision made at the end of last season. That decision was forced by the salary cap. However, they will likely shorten their bench in the playoffs and it looks like Braun, Watson and Jackson are likely.
