Message: [QUOTE="auror, post: 3101326, member: 1329"] There's a difference between a great game and a perfect game. This was a great game [I]for them[/I] (at the absolute least). James Harden averages 5 turnovers per game and might be NBA MVP. Dawkins' 4 don't matter if you are scoring THAT efficiently and using that many possessions (he still had a 136 ORTG). When they beat us by 12 on the road earlier this year, they only scored 1 point per possession. They only scored over 1.12 ppp against 1 top 75 KenPom defense all year (South Florida,). And this was top 10 D Duke on a neutral court. Critical turnovers and mental errors in the last quarter? They also had a 4 minute stretch starting with 6 minutes left in the game where they scored on 6 straight possessions for 15 points (2.5 points per possession. Yes, a 4 minute stretch where they scored MORE than 2 points per possession.) Overall in the last quarter they scored 1.26 points per possession against a great defense. [/QUOTE]
