Anyway, regardless of what happened during the game, this was a great win. Lowry has had so much influence over this team on both ends of the court. To play without him would be rather weird for the guys I imagine, this was the first game he's missed all year I think???
So to be able to win was a great effort. DeRozan was great in the fourth, very controlled, no Rudy ball and put his body on the line on the defensive end a few times.
JV and Ross played very well. The bench had big moments, It was a good team effort. They gave up that 20 point lead in a matter of 3 or so minutes and that was awful, and when the rockets got into the bonus with 7 minutes still to play I thought it was just going to go horribly wrong, but they really steadied and I thought JV really was very influential in that stretch on both ends. Good win.
One has to give Gen. Greivious credit for his play 15 & 8 and about 40 min. I think and taking over for KL. Also Nando. Boy, I like how this team just generally reacts to adversity....they hiccup, get a bit shaky but get back on track soon enough. They keep surprising!! MU adds a couple of more talented players this summer and this would be a deep team.
