    So what exactly did Stotts do to contribute to the team tying the score momentarily? Serious question. Other than giving the green light to CJ to shoot all the time, what did he do? What sets were drawn up. That was CJ getting hot and bailing the team out. If he misses even half of those shots, this is still a double digit lead for the Rockettes (yes, that was intentional).

    RoCo turns defense into offense!

    Wow, might Sotts have actually said something to Melo? The guy only has one iso, has 2 assists and a couple of other passes this half.

    Did the light bulb go off over the team's head about the defense or what?

    Some solid defense being played. Granted, it's against a depleted team, but it's a good sign.

    Playing hard. That says something. Covington is useless on offense but he and DJJ and Hood are defending. If they can make some shots a lot will improve.

    He probably gave him some brilliant advice, like "start hitting your shots rather than missing."
