Tatum carried them offensively but that play by Holiday and White to steal the ball against Edwards was the biggest play of the game. Defense wins games and championships.

[@kishorhegde7218]

That's what timberwolves thought..best defensive team in the league..Lost two games when they were up in final minutes because they couldn't score and their best defense couldn't stop Luka Kyrie and Tatum ..best defense vs best offense, best offense always wins..But I do understand what you mean..

[@nikkomarcocabuhat3155]

@@kishorhegde7218 great point. Maybe because I'm old school that's why I'm more on defense. offense wins games but defense is what you will really need in the long run to win it all, In my humble opinion.

[@kishorhegde7218]

@@nikkomarcocabuhat3155 I agree..you definitely need defense to win a championship..But if I had trade one for the other then I would pick offense..that doesn't mean you can win with dogshit defense..You can be average or even Lil below average on defense and still win if you have really good offense..But you can't win with vice versa..example: timberwolves best in defence but last 10 in offense

The Bucks is wounded right now on a losing streak, got a 3 day rest, and want a revenge from the previous lost in Boston, so they'll come out fighting and will be a big test for the C's.

Thank you to Ant for riding the crap out of the refs, and getting them to stop letting the Wolves get away with murder on the defensive end. Minnesota was losing their collective minds getting whistled for the exact calls the C's had been getting hit with all night, and I really think Edwards spending the entire last 12-15 minutes of the game complaining played a role in that changing. Past that, incredible game by Brown and Tatum, one guy opened, one guy closed, and JB was a savage on defense late. And kudos to Jrue for coming up big when it was needed.
