I love this team. Seeing KAT and Mikal get SO hyped about defense is fucking awesome

This change in direction layup was crazy. He drove to the rim 6 times and made 5 of those shots (83.3%). The one shot he missed, Randle or Rudy put it in so 100% of his rim attempts led to points. The other drives led to FTs (7 FTA, not bad). Almost every Ant drive resulted in points or FTs.

I know his knee isn't 100% and it takes energy to take it to the rack but he's so damn good there, drove multiple times and looked good even with the injury, and he doesn't seem to have lift on his jumper.

They cannot stop him there. Most of his drives were amidst 3 guys and it's like they didn't even exist! He easily swerves around them, casually changes directions and finishes or draws FTs. When we cut the lead in the 4th, instead of taking the contested jumpers why not drive? Even when there's 3-4 Denver guys in the paint it doesn't matter, he finishes anyway.

We got this if Ant goes downhill more in Game 2!

As expected but it's nice to have confirmation.
