Message: [QUOTE="jdb50, post: 4546345, member: 1530"] Early game Hawk had a few plays not go his way on offense and defense and he just kept up his energy level and broke through. Second half he did look like Rip Hamilton with the speed he was running off screens and the defenders got worn down. We made free throws! The 2 by Donovan coming out of a second half timeout were big for him and the team. The freshman showing mental toughness there. Newton playing like he did is so essential to big wins as the season winds down. He can be a big weapon when he is on. Allyene playing with confidence as is Diarra. Andre played very under control on offense at his warp speed level. That kid can cover ground like few I have seen here. Not focusing on trying for 3's has taken a burden off him. Sanogo came back from his second have rest and turned it up. He was relentless in second half. Donovan affects shots around the rim just being out there. Disrupts the opponents offense. As for the refs, not putting players in foul trouble on ticky tacks in the first half really helps the flow of the game. Then in second half they tighten things up. If this is consistent it would be a good thing. [/QUOTE]
