Wow! Great win!

Way to play like poop for more than half the game and still win

[Sophomore]

Defense was stout in the 2d half. 41 points for Memphis. That’s how they won. Watch and learn young guns.

great comeback....good effort after the bad middle of the game

[RockinRyA]

Trust me, if we lost the game, Brad is gonna get blamed for putting Yabu in. Also some nut will think Williams' injury again is bogus because he hasn't played enough to get injured.

Yabu has quicker feet than Theis and is stronger.

I actually think Yabu has been playing well in spurts before he got injured.

Great comeback. A tp for everyone!! 

[Kuberski33]

CStrong connection annoying all night -- saves us from a mountain of negativity for half the game.  C's were legit bad.   

I was as down as I have ever been when the C's were down 19 in this one.  Thankfully, C's come back and finish this one. 

Hayward contirbutes, Yabu contributed.  Jaylen only shot 3 times -- but made them all.  Tatum another lackluster scoring game, but did have 5 assists and 8 boards.

I actually wouldn't turn on the game in the first half when I saw the score - tired of being aggravated watching them.  Finally relented for the 4Q. 

Most interesting to me was Brad sitting Brown and Tatum down the stretch and benching Theiss which was long overdue.  Nice job by Yabu. I hope he gets more minutes moving forward. 

Kyrie is still on a roll and the five that Brad used down the stretch really locked in defensively.

[RJ87]

Even when we were down, I felt like we weren't going to lose this game. Memphis got some lucky bounces and calls in the 2nd quarter, but we stuck with it and pulled it out. Good win.

[hpantazo]

13 assists for Kyrie tonight, very impressive month for him.

[JSD]

Awesome comeback!!!

[ozgod]

If this team can eliminate some of those terrible defensive lapses they tend to have that put them into holes there won’t be too many teams that can beat them. Kyrie had 24 points in the 2nd half after a horrible first half turning the ball over and shooting poorly. Some clutch baskets from Gordon and Al and Morris in that 4th quarter as well.

[LilRip]

Great solid win! Kyrie put on his cape and took over down the stretch. Way to trust your teammates Kyrie! Horford and Hayward did well too

[SCeltic34]

Encouraging showing from Horford too.  He still clearly isn't 100%, but he played his best ball in the 4th.

[hpantazo]

Smart and Morris were the keys to this comeback though, particularly Smart. He's invaluable.

[Neurotic Guy]

Yabu had the most effective game of his career.  Not jumping off the stat sheet, but 16 meaningful minutes, 4 boards, 2 blocks -- and an important 3.

[ozgod]

How many points did Hayward get?

14 in 27 min he was 6-11 4th most shot attempts on the team they ran more plays for him to get his shot off
