GAME 65: PHX (36-29) vs. DAL (33-32) | 130-126 loss

[Knutsen]

Honestly it wasn't a bad game at all.

Luka wasn't at his best the whole night and he barely missed that game tying shot. Unlucky. Rebounding is still the biggest issue.

It was a really good and entertaining game. Had Luka played up to his normal standard we probably would have won. There were a couple of moments where we had the chance to go up by double digits, but we never were able to pull away unfortunately (I know we learned no lead is safe anyways). 

I think our best shot to fix the abysmal rebounding is playing Wood and Kleber together. That would mean only one of Bullock and Green (or Holiday) plays next to Kyrie and Luka, which makes the perimeter defense even more challenging with Kleber having to check Durant or Booker. 

I hope all those close loses don’t break the moral of our team but instead knit them together to get over the hump.
