OK, not complaining about Fox getting the three there.

But from a technical point of view, the "take" foul could have hurt us. We were in the bonus, so without the "take" rule we would have had two foul shots (no ball) instead of one and the ball. With two seconds on the clock and it not being the fourth quarter, I take the two FTs every time. Maybe if the shooting team is in the bonus they should get the option to decline the "take" foul and just have two FTs.
 
The bench has to step up in the second half. The offense became stagnant, without enough off-the-ball movement. And as someone else pointed out, the Lakers are playing the passing lanes very effectively.

I'm not entirely sure why Brown is so comfortable with him on quick guards. Spent a good chunk of the Cavs game on Mitchell for some reason.
Charitably, I'm hoping Mike Brown just believes in the guy so much that he's trying to get him to develop his defensive skills against quick guards.

Need aggressive fox from here on out.
I do believe you may have summoned him there! I appreciate that the season is long so if you can get away with playing 8 minutes instead of 48 and still come away with a win maybe you bank something extra for when you need it but this is a dangerous game for us to be playing. Especially considering how much can go wrong in the last 5 minutes when we don't have any kind of cushion to eat into.
 
And, as happens so often, HB once again going long stretches without a shot and w/few touches.
Why is it that regardless of the points in the game, we always have to try to police everyone every second of every game? We came back not in too bad of a groove, still a little sloppy but getting some buckets to fall.
