I mean, lets be honest, with all the threads calling for firing Chad(?) etc etc ad nauseum, it was certainly refreshing to see a team that is supposed to "outpaint" a smaller team actually do it, on the court. Trevor Thompson, now seemingly the backup to Daniel Giddens, was actually able to rebound and make points against an undersized opponent front court, Marc Loving, although not perceived as the vocal leader of the team as many desire, appears to have added some bulk and intensity to his 6'8' frame, with another double double, and Tate has reawakened. Turnovers dropped, free throws improved, and they did what they are supposed to do against a scrappy cupcake. And they CONTROLLED THE PAINT!
