Aloha,

This was a good win. It really feels like this team is really coming together. And it was a team effort. We shot the ball well. 43% from 3 and 49% overall. And 5 guys were in double figures.

the Hawks are not a good defensive team. But it was our defense that impressed me the most. The Hawks are a very good offensive team. They are 5th in the league in scoring at 117 a game and we held them to 102. We also out rebounded them by 17 boards. If We didn’t have turnover issues again we would have won by more than 17.

We are now 4th in the west and climbing. The DFS trade was a great move that will pay off more as he becomes familiar with our system.

I believe we have a real shot at the 4th seed.

Reaves is not a PG, hurts his shooting of one of the 2 guys that make em. I believe I counted 12 missed open shots LBJ created. Dang
