    As opposed to the Mavs' 35 points and 8 assists from their obviously superior bench.

    We can't expect that from our bench every night guys. We'll probably only win by 10 most of the time.

    Blake did what Blake do. Kaman was Kaman. It's CJ. That's the lynch pin. If he can get 8-10 points per game, our bench is in great shape. That's what we need from him.

    Good to see us not let the deep bench give back points in garbage time. I hate having Hollinger's Pythagorean-based Power Ranking/playoff forecasts ding us because our margin of victory sucks after 6 minutes of bench play.

    Even our garbage guys looked comfortable and within themselves instead of going mercenary style.

    Good because I want him playing SG. At one point we had Dame, Blake and CJ in at the same time. Now I don't see many scenarios will we will see that very often, but I definitely like CJ with Blake or Damian. Will at the 3 also works for me.

    Lma quietly racks up solid numbers. I like games like that. It means our other players are playing great

    Casey Holdahl ‏@CHold Every player I talked to in the locker room post-game asked if there was any update on the woman who had to be taken to the hospital.

    Good crowd tonight! Nice win. I hope the fan who had to be medically assisted is alright.

    I think playing defense has become fun for these guys. That's scary.

    They just need a few more games like this and this team will work harder and harder. All they needed to do is believe in themselves. They have an opportunity to stay a top 5 defensive team.

    This is how you can win more games on the road as well. Your defense is key to taking the other teams fans out of the game. Then use your offense to step on their throats

    UPDATE: It is still uncool to clap for someone on a stretcher unconscious and being resuscitated. The crowd did it twice tonight.

    Good points!

    Their offense was alright tonight but you are seeing what an alright offense and a top three defense gets you.

    Hint: starters didn't have to play 4th

    I HOPE she is alright. Thoughts and prayers to her. Poor lady.

    Kudos to the players on both sides for showing genuine concern for her.
