This win once we got going late in the third followed the formula weve used all season to success.
Love started hitting 3's. Osman had a mini Cavalanche of his own. We got stops and got out in transition but set our half court D.
Then late in the 4th....Garland had two big buckets in a row and 2 or 3 great dimes.
Mobley had a beautiful assist to Okoro, a MANS bucket down low...and the play of the game making Jerami Grant his bitch after Grant did the same to us all night long. Mobley was sniffing triple double territory with a couple more assists. He was great passing tonight. Just great.
LeVert is perfect for this team alongside Garland. Its really criminal not starting him. He's being put in a position to succeed only in the 4th qtr and is asked to be something totally different the first 3 quarters of the game. It makes no sense honestly. When him and Garland are out there together, we just get better shots...we have more space...our shooters are more open. Both guys are threats to penetrate the defense. It has been everything for our late game offense the last couple of games since LeVert came back.
He has got to start man. Stevens will be fine on the bench unit. Might actually improve the unit. It can just be a rag tag unit of energy/tough guys with the goal of getting Osman and Love open for threes and playing off their spacing. Cant go any worse than it's going right now asking LeVert to be a #1 option for that unit. LeVert is a complementary player in so many ways. We need to make that switch man.
