JB has been great at this, he's so physical up top that he can fight through.
Yup and when they pick up the ballhandler earlier it means the screen is up 3-5 feet beyond the arc and leaves more time to recover. JB was aggressive tonight picking up guys at half court.

Yielding too much just gets them in a passive situation all around.

JB destroyed Harden, who maybe got one basket against him
Yeah, it looked like JB was REALLY locked in on Harden and was on a mission to deny him tonight. He is 100% capable of doing that the rest of the series, too....if this team decides it is going to clamp down on defense no one can stop them.

Remember when we thought Muscala would play actual minutes?
I was hoping he'd play more minutes during the regular season, but was always thinking he'd be a deep bench guy during the playoffs. If anyone was going to contribute, it would be Gallinari if he was WAY ahead of schedule.
