Curious to see how HOU responds to defending Dončić in a playoff-ish setting (same team 2x in 3 days). Dorian Finney-Smith saw the most success against him, holding him to 4 points on 2-for-6 shooting — but played just 24 minutes. I'd imagine he gets an uptick.

Count on my bro @KellyIko to actually write about the things happening on the court Unlike the talking heads spewing narratives that haven’t been real. Luka’s effort on defense has been apparent

New for @YahooSports: Luka Dončić's offensive brilliance separates him from his peers, but it's his defensive intensity and consistency under J.J. Redick that has the surging Lakers firing on all cylinders sports.yahoo.com/nba/article/is…

From yesterday, @YahooSports: I wrote about the Hawks, trying something new — a team that starts with stops, and is built around many hands making light work: yhoo.it/4lDVpSD

Just another poor closing for HOU in a game they’ll regret for potential seeding purposes — 12 points in the 4Q, 22 TOs (Durant with 7), anemic 5-for-26 shooting from 3.

Only 1 assist for KD at halftime, but he’s spent a good chunk of this game leveraging his gravity in drive-and-kick possessions + playing out of pressure. No Şengün tonight naturally meant an elevated playmaking role for Durant, but think there’s more ways HOU can use him.

Pretty remarkable the impact CJ McCollum has had in his limited time as a Hawk. Hasn't interfered with Jalen Johnson's ascension and stabilized their halfcourt execution. Atlanta is on an absolute tear -- Headed for their 9th win in a row, 5th in net rating since KornetGate,

"It's pretty easy to play with him. Because everybody's afraid of him." At @YahooSports: I wrote about the Clippers pulling off a bit of NBA history thanks to Kawhi Leonard, who's looking as good as he has in years — and as good as anybody in the world: yhoo.it/40P9ao5

The true beauty of SGA’s record-breaking night wasn’t the quality of opponent or his true shooting over the past 127 games. It’s the love he embraces from everyone else, and the joy they derive from him. Dispatch from Oklahoma City, for @YahooSports: sports.yahoo.com/nba/article/in…

Jaylin Williams to @YahooSports: “When the MVP of the league is the guy that’s being unselfish, it just sets a standard for the rest of the team to be the same way. When you have someone that sets the tone it makes it easier for everybody else.” sports.yahoo.com/nba/breaking-n…?

The speed at which the Thunder are able to create mismatches for SGA — and the efficiency of his conversion from his sweet spots — are just absolute killers. 35 for the reigning MVP on 13-for-18 shooting.
