Terrific game.
All 3 games the Knix have played hard and with energy. Credit to Thibs.
Kind of a typical modern upset, where a poor shooting team nails 3's and a good shooting team clanks them.
Franc & Elf 7-7 on 3's?!? You kidding me.
Great bounce back game form Elf. Pride.
Knix made 60% of their 3's; Bucks just 18% (and their two rooks went 2-3 in garbage time). 5/35 on 3's without the late rook precision (15%).
Clyde noted how Bucks to the easy route and just kept chucking 3's. Mostly fairly open shots, especially Lopez in the corner.
I wish Thibs pulled the starters sooner. Randle and Elf didn't come out until 1:13 left up 22. I was hoping to see Iggy more. He stood up to Giannis' tough-looking older brother, and got in the mix on two of the last offensive possessions. in his 79 second cameo.
For MIL, Merrill can shoot and Nwora looked good.
They have an okay bench, but if those two can contribute would help.
Portis - Craig -- DJ's Augustine and Wilson - Connaughton
Merrill, Nwora, Thannis.
Great Knick team win.
Cavs up next.
4 game Road trip
@ Cavs/@Tor B2B
@ Ind
@ Atl
Need to steamroll CLE, because a Road B2B v. TOR is not easy. IND is good. ATL can score. Looking forward to seeing Hawks, especially RJB v. DeAHunter.
Usually CLE to TOR would be a short probably one hour flight, but now have to head to Florida. So far Hawks beating up weak teams with Capela, Okongwu and some others out (Dunn actually getting his ankle scoped out).
ATL with 7 of first 9 games v. non-playoff teams
They have a two game set @ BKY, but otherwise a lot of CHA, DET, CLE, and NYK upcoming. Chance to start off with a fine record. 6-3 very doable. Scored over 120 both games so far. Fun team. Looking forward to when they have all their pieces.
