D'Lo sucked for 3 quarters, but has 13 so far in the 4th. I had this win locked up and I hope I didn't speak too soon. 1:40 left with ball and 7 point lead.

Ant's hot hand and hero s*t could cost us the game. He need to figure out how to pass in late minutes.

Reaves acted like he got ran over by a semi

Dlo is hot hand, they feed him, they score. Prince should have been fed but they didn’t. To be fair AD had a hot hand as well for a chunk of TP’s window.

Then the one time he should shoot, he throws it to the outside.

I’m not unhappy to see Taurean Prince do so well, as long as we got the win.

I liked seeing he and Ant chatting after the game. TP helped Ant get where he is today.

Terrible way to end the game

Hopefully the KAt injury isn't bad. Can't afford to lose him.

I'm glad Mike and Rudy take the lead at crutch time. Ant is getting on my nerve sometimes.... he is so talented... and so stupid in the same time. Good win. Next one will be tough!

I like 21-6. I am worried about KAT and Ant. A little disappointed in Jaden for disappearing on offense in the second half again. He needs to get better at that, he is too good to not contribute for full quarters. Not the cleanest win we could get, but I like winning.

Announcers seemed to be saying KAT should be OK. Something real minor, but you never know.

So the McDaniels collision near the end of the game reminded me I don’t know the “clear path” rule.

Suppose an opponent has a one man-break away, and you intentionally foul a player behind, on your own side of the court. Does the breakaway still get to score? Is clear path only if you foul the guy with the ball?

Must have clear possession, no defender between ball handler and the basket, and must be ahead of defender who commits the foul. The Jaden foul was loose ball and honestly I don’t know why it’s a foul at all. They ran into each other. Unfortunate, but not anyone’s fault.

Maybe a knee knock?

You sure seem to know everything. Question: what is the meaning of life?

Ugh. Wish we had something better than this.

I agree with you. Same with the Naz foul. If both players take equal damage, play on.

But suppose that pass was straight to the guy in front, and Jaden intentionally fouled Reaves, behind the play. Is that still clear path?

I'm impressed with our poise down the stretch. Solid win for the guys.

AAARRROOOOOO!!!

I hope KAT is ok. Sabonis can’t guard him.

It’ll be fun for me to watch Keegan Murray.
