I know we both want smart play, and it'll eventually be there (or not).

I'll take your vigilance as helpful to the ambition but note that, IIRC, CV twice & AG once got to the line and converted on first half drives that seemed questionable; that AG missed a wide open 3 that was probably the kind best taken to keep a defense honest; and that in the second half AG had the twisting layup on the left side of the basket & the stepback that both worked and reminded us of guards from the past decade who converted more frequently.

Were all of these attempts "hero ball?"Quite possibly yes, if Dan Hurley didn't call the timeout at 9-18,make the substitutions, have a bench, and new players who responded, but he did.

I'll take yesterday's flashier moves more as "swagger," mostly because points were scored, and because there was noticeable second half jump in my personal/historical Big 3: made free throws, defensive stops, and made free throws.

For now, I'll trust, you verify. We're on the same team.
