[VF21]

In case I didn't mention it enough, MIller was everywhere tonight. Some great screens, lots of hustle.

Grant and Jerry talking to Beno, who has not even practiced 5-on-5 yet. He said he told Reggie this afternoon that he felt ready to play and would be there if he was needed.

Very gracious young man, who thanks his teammates. This is the type of player who, IMHO, fits the image I have of our Kings.

Yes, VF21 is a happy camper tonight here in the forest.
