    Lillard and Aldridge helped cut a 27 point Celtics lead down to 16. But instead of leaving Lillard out there and putting Aldridge back and try to win it (which I wanted), he benched all the starters and played Nolan/Barton/Babbitt/Freeland/Leonard for the entire 4th quarter. We only lost that quarter by two points. Ever since, our bench has been sensational. They just needed those 12 minutes to get loose and comfortable. Great move by Stotts. So proud of each and every player on our team.
