Domantas Sabonis has been so good for basically the entire season and hasn’t gotten enough credit.
The biggest criticism I’ve seen is his inconsistency as a scoring threat.
Tonight, and a few times down the stretch, Sabonis has proved the doubters right. Just has to be better. – 10:14 PM

Mike Brown said it took a season for him to get Malik Monk to put his body on the line to take a charge.
Based on the shot that Davion Mitchell just took, I understand why it took that long.
