That was as emotionally exhausting a game as I've watched in a long, long time. OMG what a great win!
For the longest time it just seemed like everything was against us. Nothing was coming easy, and it seemed like the Nets were getting all the lucky bounces. We'd claw our way back into a tie and then the Nets would pull away again. We were getting killed by second chance shots. But the guys hung in there and when we finally got over the hump it looked like the Nets were dejected.
How cool under pressure is Payton Pritchard?!

JT has really changed his game. In the past, he'd keep forcing shot. Now he actively facilitates early on. Forces defenders to avoid sticking too close to his hip. Loved his alpha mode at the end when he took over the last few minutes. Did you see him touching the hardwood after his 3pter in the last minute? He's got that mentality of wanting to own HIS house.

But that was a BS foul out by Horford. I hope Brown gets fined for flopping on that...Horford barely touched him.

And this team doesn't get rattled late in the shot clock.

Is KD exhausted? He shot 0-10 from the field in the second half. Apparently he has been averaging over 40 minutes per game over the last month. Maybe his legs are gone.

GWill and Pritch showed up big tonight. Jaylen had a great 4th. This team needs to steal one of two in Brooklyn. Then come home and wrap it up in 5.

Its one part exhaustion in minutes, one part having to guard another top tier player like Tatum which takes alot out of you, and one part is the amount of punishment he takes trying to get to his spots and fighting through screens. I think the phrase is... Death by a thousand cuts? Every little bump takes its toll on a guy who is built slim. Those bumps hurt just abit more.
