Stat sheet may not tell much but that is the performance Omax needs to force minutes.  Minutes are tight but he can make it hard for Kidd not to give him minutes at time.  If he can just get on the floor and produce like that, it will give him time for the game to slow down and find his role.

That stretch from OMax is enough to convince to give him the backup 4 position for now and keep Kleber in a cryochamber. Maxi is too valuable to risk not having come playoff time, and the unfortunate reality is that he is fragile. Omax is right there, willing to eat 15 mins up to keep Kleber healthy.

Hard to balance, but I just loved watching Omax tonight.
