I know it's been cliche to say, but while the C's have let MIL comeback late in 2 of the 3 games this season, I still think they've done a good job to come away with the win. Meaning, a game like yesterday or even the other one earlier in the season might have been losses last year. MIL was just hitting a ton of shots in the 4th and making great plays and good runs. Credit to them. The C's still did just enough to hold them off and made some nice plays late to seal it (JB's free throws, KP's putback dunk, etc.). Not pretty but not every win is pretty.
These are the kind of games we would have definitely blown last year particularly in the 2nd half of the season (after January) and then spending the next 1-2 days sulking. So far this year there's only been maybe 3-4 games like that total. And it's almost April already.
