Credit to Rak for playing much better defensively yesterday. On the first few possessions, in particular, he aggressively bodied the man who set up in the low post, or guys cutting thru the lane. He had lulls in his game, and he could have done more on the defensive boards, and yes, these guys were all midgets around him, but that was a good start. Keita played pretty well, too.
Except for James, everyone else was actually pretty terrible yesterday. But survive and advance.
For me, the big takeaway was that Rak was much more fundamentally sound on defense, which is what I've been critical of in his game. Nice improvement, now let's keep building on it.
