Excellent game tonight. NOLA team is a tough match up for us as they are long and strong. Offensively, basically everyone on the team gave what he is supposed to. Luka and KP were stars with 30 something each on decent percentage. THJ good third man with 18 and Seth excellent 6th man. Good to see Wright hit 3 threes. Other than that, bench is depleted and starters played huge minutes. I hope they save something for the playoffs 
Some observations:
- Luka injuries are tough. It takes some two weeks off to heal that kind of thumb or ankle injury.
- I don't really understand why the league is hyping up a player who is a freak athlete, but really doesn't have much other basketball skills. I still don't believe his body will last long. Maxi did an excellent job defensively. But he is a freak athlete, such explosiveness. Imagine he would have Luka basketball IQ
- starting guards need to improve defensively a lot, to be competitive in the playoffs. Giving up some way to easy baskets.
- Lonzo is really hot from 3 point line lately. Second game in a row with 7 threes on good percentage. Luckily he can't do much else.
- this was a terrible loss for Pels, as Memphis won against New Jersey. Portland also won and is game and a half in front of them. Although, they screwed up yesterday - should really won that one.
- DFS left and did not return with hip injury. We can't lose another rotation player
