    Bol Bol minutes
    Jerami Grant
    Jokic a little underwhelming game (scoring wise)
    Nuggets couldn’t hit any 3s (8-35 = 22.9%)
    Miami Bench
    Surprising Margain of Victory
    Are the Heat serious contenders?
    Miami well balanced attack (3 with 20, 6 with double figures)
    Bam Adebayo
    Thunder/Jazz - 110-94
    Thunder well balanced attack (4 starts in double figures)
    Roberson makes an immediate impact
    Thunder hitting from deep
    Gallo DUNK
    Thunder guards attacking Gobert
    Adams controlling the paint
    Thunder PnR offense is scary
    A difference is the offenses and how each team shares the ball (Thunder +/Jazz -)
    Thunder team defense
    I would like the number of passes and dribbles for each team.
    Utah’s offense is not there in the 1st half
    D. Mitchell not scoring efficiently
    No productive offense from O’Neale
    Clarkson is playing at an inefficient rate (can’t hit shots)
    Once again, Jazz offense doesn’t have much passing and movement.
    Gobert foul trouble to watch in 2nd Half
    Conley showing up again
    Thunder just were completely dominate the whole game/never let up
    Clippers/Pelicans (126-103)
    Clippers put them away quickly in the first quarter and never looked back.
    25 3FG Made (LAC Record)
    Reggie Jackson had an incredible performance.
    PG was filling it up from deep (8 3FGM)
    starts didn’t have to play tons of minutes which is great moving forward)
    Pelicans had great production off the bench from Redick, Jackson, Hayes, and Alexander-Walker.
    I did not like the body language of the Pelicans. They seemed not be fully engaged in this game.
    Brandon Ingram struggles and you saw some bad habits come out.
    Zion still on limited minutes.
    Struggled to score against the Clippers (44.7% from the field & 30% from 3)
    Pacers/Sixers (127-121)
    Oladipo decided that he will play the rest of the season.
    TJ Warren with 53 points
    Good game from Aaron Holiday initiating the offense and providing some scoring (Double Double - 15 Pts & 10 Ast)
    They had no answer for Embiid (41 Pts & 21 Reb)
    He completely dominated the paint. This is something we have been wanting to see from Embiid as there was time that he was playing on the perimeter way too much.
    Tobias Harris with 30 points, but not efficient... shooting 12-29
    Alec Burks knocked down 3 threes. If the Sixers can hit 12-15 3PG then it can change the trajectory of their season.
    Surprise to see their defense get torched by Warren with the wings/guards they have.
    Lakers/Raptors (107-92)
    This game was like a street fight. You had to go earn it. The Raptors proved to be a little tougher.
    LeBron found a little bit more of his offense in this game. Some of the best defense LeBron has played in sometime.
    No production out of AD and he only took 7 shots
    Danny Green with a horrific shooting night.
    Kyle Kuzma continued the great play from 2nd Half of the Clippers game in this game as he scored 16 points and played really good defense.
    Kyle Lowry was a man on a mission.
    OG Anunoby played really well.
    Raptors defense is a nightmare for teams and puts them as serious title contenders.
