concerns good inside league outside player threat
What concerns me is that they have a lot of weapons. They take the most 3-pointers in the league and they have a 3-point threat kind of team, but they also have a very, very good inside player in A.J.

Defensively, he used to be awful. He?d get beat on backdoors ... he?s doing a better job on screens. Now he?s not getting beat off the dribble very much. He?s containing his man. He?s more aware of the value of defense.

That gave us a little bit of a kick start. In the past Justin would have stopped near half court and shot a three.
coming defended few free limited players points quite rebounds
They got quite a few points in limited attempts, they made free throws, they got rebounds and they defended pretty well. That?s what you would like them to do as players coming off the bench.

We're playing pretty good ball, keeping teams for five straight games under 60 points.

We're growing as a team. We're working better defensively. There's a really good feeling among the players.
