But even though they did that, I'll acknowledge I wasn't feeling great about it entering the 4th. But the absolute suffocating defense during crunch time was a true beauty to watch. And perhaps the most impressive part of it is they did it with a lineup where I think most people would say 3/5 of the players are not plus defenders. The way they played defense during crunch time is the type of thing that makes me say bring on Boston
There was something about Beas finally hitting a 3 right before the 4th that made me think we were going to pull it off.
He didn't have a very good offensive game tonight, but he had a great defensive game. You could tell he really wanted to D up on those guys. He was upset when he got that 5th foul, dude was playing good defense like few said he could and got pulled from the game because of those refs. Whew. Glad we don't have to talk about them too much.
