Great, great game that I've been waiting for... really took it strong at the rim tonight and they had no answer. In and around the rim he was using his body to create space and score, just need him to keep bringing it like tonight !
Off the top of my head, I believe Thomas has taken 7 charges in the last four games. Those are such an energy boost and I believe this has really kick-started his offense too. Lon should be commended for getting these guys to play better defense this year.

I think we got a break on the charging call with Thomas…… Nobody has mentioned the strategy to put Buddy on Niang who ended up with only 7 points last night (5 in the first minute or so). I thought that was great strategy. As good defensively as Thomas is, he's not quick enough to play Niang on the perimeter (obvious in the few times that he tried). Buddy was up to the task on the perimeter and the bigs doubled him in the paint (e.g. charging call drawn by Thomas).
