That was a tough game. Lots of physicality. Held my breath every time Brown or Williams hit the deck and there were plenty of those times. Lewis also leapt over the people sitting courtside for a loose ball. Obviously love the hustle but that could have been a dangerous play. We aren't all that deep right now so we need guys to stay healthy.
