When we took leads in the first and fourth, he was driving and mid-ranging it. Second and third he just jacked threes and we kept letting Orlando make runs.
Brunson 19-5-3 is showing the world that he’s got value. At least a FRP if not two. We either gotta keep him or else trade him for something good. He’s just too damn good to get away.
No other takeaways. We got a lead and then treaded water for two quarters, but also showed that we could put shift into third/fourth gear in the fourth when it mattered.
That defense is the real deal.

Luka's efficiency this year is a huge issue. Absolutely. But, I noticed you left out his +/-, which you usually love to post (at least when it's negative...) ;] Game high +20, for the record. Luka controlled the game, per usual, made his FTs and didn't turn it over. Hopefully the efficiency will come around, because if it does, he's back in the argument for top 3 player in the league.
KP looked good. If he can get his three ball going that would help. Even 35%.
THJ still can't made wide open threes.
