I missed the game last night, and finally just caught the replay on CSNNE. The most impressive part of that game was the intensity with which our team defended down the stretch. It wasn't perfect, and the Hawks helped us out by missing some makable shots, but the energy and activity level was definitely there. One play that stand out to me as emblematic of this was a play where Jeff Green raced about twenty feet across the court to put a really good contest on a three point shooter in the right corner. I saw Jordan Crawford keep Jeff Teague in front of him on the dribble, Sully was using that big body to box out and clean the defensive glass, and of course Brandon had the two big blocks.
Yes, definitely, an engaged looking team in that fourth quarter. It was nice to see.
Let's keep it up.
