20/38 2pt FG, 14/15 FT

[4in16]

Nice to see them take in inside the arc today and shoot at a healthy clip 52.6%. Can't really do much better than 93.3% from the stripe. Both made big differences in the game today in what turned out to be the anti Tulsa game finish, turned up the D and took it to Houston in the 2nd half giving up only 22 pts in the second half. Other highlights included shooting 46.3% for the game, Nolan's 8 boards & 3 assists (as has been mentioned by several others) and Jalen looking more comfortable with 13pts,4rb,2a only issue being some ugly dribbling leading to his 5 TOs and Gibbs doing what Gibbs does stayed hot with 20,2 and 3. Very nice bounce back specifically in the 2nd half to hopefully turn this thing around and get this team going also to prevent a full on boneyard apocalypse.

Phil had 4 assists in his last 48 games coming into today, and he had 3 in this one. Crazy.

Well he started. That had to make him feel special. Paid it back in full today.

Phil had 4 assists in his last 48 games coming into today, and he had 3 in this one. Crazy.

It looks like he was given instructions absolutely never to shoot, even in the key, unless he has a dunk/layup. At least two of his assists came with him under the hoop where he would traditionally throw up a brick.
