Enjoyed this one immensely. Very well could've been a career-defining game for Jamal either way... so happy it went in his favor. Malone will deservedly get credit for sticking with him - and he should - but letting him and Barton go out and build houses for three quarters very well could've cost us the season.

Malone needs to make the obvious move and drop Barton. Jamal needs to build on this. Jokic needs to get better shots for himself. Gary, Paul and Beas... well, they can keep doing what they're doing.

LA and Derozan balled. Pop vs. Malone isn't fair. But tonight showed the squad around them is not even remotely good enough to hang with us when we're playing well. Now, all we have to do is go win in San Antonio. It's just that we never really do that.

Still, the first playoff win for this team in 6(!) years. That's enough for right now.
