There was a sense of coherency on defense that has been lacking up to this point. It seems they may finally be getting the new system. It was actually neat to watch from a tactical perspective - when they get a big/small mismatch on a switch, a bigger Sixer offball defender immediately rushes the big trying to postup the Sixer guard and the Sixer guard gets passed off to defend the perimeter.

Offensively this team is still broken. Shamet and Dario were knocking down shots so they won. We don't have a bucketgetter. Ben is on his bullshit and is wearing on my patience.
