Pels just got gassed down the stretch I guess? Not much else to say. Wonder if Port tries to push pace more next game knowing Pels have like 3.5 nba players on their team
Brow/Jrue by far 2 best players on the court tonight, Lillard/Cjm were terrible and Port loses a close game down the stretch.
One thing about NO is they're so thin that they really can only play 1 way. It isn't like they can make many adjustments in terms of how to deploy personnel over the course of the series. Stotts has some buttons to push, maybe speed the tempo up if all NO guys are gonna go 40 mins, get Connaughton more mins since they weren't covering Turner for like 1/2 the game, play Ed Davis a little more, play Rondo to score the ball more and don't help so much on his screen rolls, etc
I dunno, nice win for NO but I wouldn't feel too confident if I had the estate on them right now. That extra rd 1 rest is nice for NO tho, gonna need it.
