Kyle Lowry with 13/5/8 off the Sixers bench in 26 minutes last night. It’s kind of like Kobe’s 60 points in his final game, except for in this case no one saw it.

I’m glad that Leon didn’t punt on one of Jalen’s prime years. This team really gets my juices flowing.

I can’t think of one instance tonight where Jokic did one of his patented moves- holding the ball high over his head and hitting a cutter for a dunk or a layup

That’s a testament to our new found commitment to defense, guys are staying connected and giving up very few easy buckets to the opposition

So refreshing to see (finally)

I’m pretty sure Deuce didn’t play in the game at OKC.

One potential benefit of this winning streak going into the deadline is that it makes us seem less desperate to make a trade, i.e. puts us in a better negotiating position.

See Jalen Brunson quote above. The Cap says lots of room still for improvement. Gonna tell HIM he doesn’t know what he’s talking about?

Two points. First, the bench play made a huge difference the last couple of weeks. They hold their own and gradually Thibs started trusting them. This means fresher legs in the fourth. Second point. Those days off they had between games last week, and the practices they had, literally transformed the Knicks defense. The level and consistency of the defense we saw recently is outstanding.

Edit: I wonder if two more months will make a further big improvement in the numbers

It does if you think there is still more potential in our bench. But that largely depends on Mitch coming back right and being able to play 18-20 minutes a game.
