Schroder was great tonight, but that last play was a head scratcher. I'm surprised they didn't go to Tatum, and when Schroder drove and got bottled up I'm surprised he went with a contested turnaround jumper on a taller defender rather than passing the ball. Even just using more clock would have been huge for us.

It was just a bad play to run at the end. Becoming a pattern there.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

Tatum with a career high in assists last game and a career high 16 rebounds tonight.  8)

Maybe he has turned the corner.

Had to go to dinner after halftime, that last quarter was a nailbiter. I like ugly wins because they build character. Especially given we had lost 6 of these where we were in winning positions previously.

Belated TPs for all!  :police:

Look at the final score 88-87 and then look at other games' final score tonight.

Crazy. We haven't had this kind of score in a long time. Very stout defense.

We have lots of games in the 90s I feel?

I'm never a huge fan of the 100% isolation play on a game winning possession, but it seems to be the go to play almost all of the time.  Schroder is not afraid of the moment, and has taken the last shot a few times now, even with Tatum on the court.  I like having options, but Tatum really does need to be the guy handling the ball at the start of those possessions.
