Dwhite killing it.

Blew this one open with Tatum on the bench.  Fantastic job by this unit.

[SCeltic34]

11-0 run without Tatum.

You know, I'd say White becoming an elite threat from beyond the arc is one of the more underrated parts of why this team is so deadly offensively. Along with the Jays, he gives you a third guy in the starting lineup that can literally make something from nothing with his shot and pull-up ability. How many times has he bailed us out in late shot clock scenarios just the last two games?

Fantastic start to the 4th quarter WITHOUT JT!  (and no JB)

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

11-0 run without Tatum.

In the first half, this looked like a very losable game, but other than the travels/TOs, they?ve really fought back against a bullying Rockets team and are taking it to them.

+11 in 3 minutes without Tatum is crazy

[SCeltic34]

Kornet +25.

[jpotter33]

Okay, can we get KP out now? Him falling down is giving me an aneurysm every single time.

[jambr380]

The Tatum effect is definitely real, but he?s had a number of points in this game where he?s been somewhat lazy/going through the motions. Great to see the rest of the team really come to play in this one. Jrue?s start in the 1st really set us off in the right direction

[jambr380]

Is Jalen Green better than Ant lol?

[SCeltic34]

Man PP is so good.  > 40% from 3 even though he shoots bombs way past the 3 point line.

[Phantom255x]

This has been a fantastic defensive effort in the 2nd half. Only 22 points in 18 minutes so far
