    Kanter never pays attention when getting back on defense.

    Simons with 2 deflections already. Looks like his near flawless shooting game last night has given him a boost in his defensive intensity

    Why do you go to Melo isos when you have offensive weapons like CJ, Powell and Ant on the floor? I just don’t get it!

    Nothing has really changed, we're just hitting shots. Sometimes that's just how it goes.

    Looking smooth!
