Ain't that the truth! Our guys were really ready for this one! On a funny side note, if the Mavs ever got down in this game, I expected to see JJB get in there as a known Westbrook agitator and work that guy into a frenzy as he's done so often. Would have loved to see that anyway as RW got pretty agitated anyway, and have JJB send him over the top!

I LOVE hearing this! This is the first baby step, and it's been happening for the last 3 games. The game is one of streaks, the Mavs bench were trying in the 4th to hold on to the lead. I will say, the way they both played, when RC put Luka and KP in, I had every confidence that they would put the game away, and they did. Really cool to see them go out "finishing the job" for the end of the game with time on the clock.

Yes! For me, this ousted the Lakers loss as the best game of the season. There is still so much room for improvement with KP and some of the other guys, I'm getting more and more excited.

Me too! I wanted to at least go 2-2 in this 4 game stretch. Lets get that second win on Tuesday and have the other two games as bonus statement games!
