Yeah he went from struggling and looking down at his hand to cooking.

Almost wonder if they gave him like a cortisone shot in his hand or something..

Is it too early to celebrate getting homecourt throughout the playoffs?

Man, if they turn it on, they're something else. Home juggernaut since we lost to the Lakers.

Then a block/steal on the trip back up the court. And clean up rebound.

Idk. My view is that the end of game really should be White-KP with the Js there to exploit. But maybe 23s of JT isoing is the answer. :?

White-KP with Jays offball and Jrue as elite cutter and dunker spot operator keeps everyone engaged on offense. Dunno why we elect to ball-watch sometimes.

Poor Hayward (-18) and Muscala have become garbage time players.

And that's why getting homecourt throughout the playoffs is important.

This team doesn't have any legitimate competition when they're home.

Mazzulla with the 8-man playoff rotation. No Tillman, no Kornet, no Brissett.

A very subtle thing the Cs did in this game is they practiced their half court offense.

That's being very meticulous.

Excellent job by the coaching staff.
