LOYALTY

Great effort in the first half from Bron on a night when they were trying to stop him from any inside game. He got some early points in the paint anyway, which made Utah panic and play him for the drive every time. When Bron saw that, he sat back and popped jump shots from everywhere. He was just feeling it tonight.

The rest of the team was average to below average on offense, but they played some Tough Defense all night. I expect to see the big men come out with some Fire tomorrow night. Z and especially Traylor should be well rested for the Milwuakee game. If the team plays tough D like tonight, they have a good chance to win. But back-to-backs are always tough.
