Derrick White going 5-7 from 3 after going 1-6 is an A to me. Shows he has pride and confidence in himself and is no longer bothered by one bad game.
Thanks for the great write-up. A much needed win. It looked like they wanted it and never let up. Some of these games we've seen where we have collapsed in the end have been difficult to read. Often times, as you said with DDR trying to force the issue. This is a game I hope they watch today, as it was great team effort.
As great as the article was, there must be a typo. You mistaken said DDR made a 3 pointer in the 4th quarter and I'm pretty sure that didn't happen in the universe where I live!
On to the Motor City for another win!

If White can just start making 2-3 threes per game he'd be such a beast, tbh.
So this was the law of averages game I thought the Lakers one might be. At any rate, even though musical chairs will likely continue with the other "big" spot in the starting lineup (with Poeltl probably generally starting), it was nice for one game anyway to see the logical "big" rotation.
Gay should be the permanent starter. Not only is his 3ish and Dish game desperately needed, but as I've long said, the second unit doesn't need an ISO scorer and his ball stopping cramps their style anyway. They'll get by on a combination of fit and IQ (though that's taken a hit with White starting and Murray joining them).
Throwing the starting lineup in the garbage isn't a winning formula. I get that no combination will make this team good, but they've at least got to be decent and hope the second unit being good puts them over the top. If the former is terrible, it doesn't matter what the latter does.
When Golden State low key adds a lottery pick (god help us all if they get the number one overall pick) to Steph, Clay, and a Draymond, and they blow the doors off everyone in the West next year, I hope everyone in the “let’s try and make the playoffs” camp pays close attention to what an influx of high quality (top five pick) talent can do to your upside.
“We made shots they didn’t”
All in all, thanks a lot for the grades though. Can’t draw too much from this yet if it’s not repeatable.
However, it felt good to have won.
