We put C.J. on the ball to take away the throw to the rim. That is what they tried to do the time before. Russell didn't do a great job on Neal on the play. It wasn't a good look, but he got off a look. We thought they would throw it to the basket. Fortunately for us, they threw outside, and he missed it so I'll say it was good defense.

With the game evolving into so many ball screens and stretching defenses, you're so much harder to guard when you have a four man (power forward) that can be a threat from the perimeter as well as inside.

We probably didn't play as well as the score. Shooting covers up a multitude of sins, I guess is the expression. They got the ball where they wanted to get it the first 10 minutes, they just didn't convert.

He still scored a ton from the free throw, but if we hadn't went to the zone he would have had 25 because Billy would have kept making them throw the ball inside to him. So the zone really helped us a lot in the second half.

Down the stretch I just thought we executed and got stops defensively and of course rebounded the ball a lot better than we did the first time we played them.
