Having lost their two best outside shooters, Malik Beasley etc Tim Hardaway Jrand while waiting to return from injury Poor IveyTHE Clips rely on their physical influence.
But pushed by Celtics at the start of the gamethey are mostly revived by their replacements…
“It’s a victory of identity. Simply because our substitutes came back and showed us what our identity is, that we lost even when we were behind by about 15 points. explains Ausar Thompson. “Then we came back and kept that identity until the end of the match.”
“All credit goes to our substitutes”confirms his coach JB Bickerstaff. “Our substitutes came in, brought a lot of energy and changed the spirit of the match. Their combativeness, turnovers, rebounds, fast play, defense that we are capable of… They gave us new momentum.”
Enough to wake up Cade Cunningham (25 points, 8 assists), Jalen Duren (24 points, 18 rebounds) and that’s why Ausar Thompsonwho recovered three very important offensive rebounds in the money.
It is not one-dimensional despite the lack of external recording
“I try to go out there and play as hard as I can. Some nights, when the shots aren’t going, you have to go for offensive rebounds, easy baskets. I put my teammates in trouble by letting Peyton Pritchard grab an offensive rebound. I had to put it back…and triple it.” he smiled.
With his 21 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and +/- of +15 in 36 minutes, Amen’s twin weighed heavily in the second half of the match. No 3-point shot.
“It can weigh in so many different ways”concludes JB Bickerstaff about his player’s offensive impact. “He’s not a one-dimensional offensive player. His offensive rebounds and shots help our offense. His cuts behind the defense and the paint he touches help our offense. When he gets his racket, it helps our offense. He can help us in a lot of different ways offensively, and he’s going to continue to improve and get even more confident.”
