Reactions: The Good

  • After the bench unit made a nice impact in a stirring fourth quarter against the Grizzlies on Thursday, at least some of that group continued to impress in this one. Tyler Ennis continued to get time, offering up a high intensity performance with plenty of signs of encouragement. His defense was solid, but so was his passing. Jabari Parker and his incredible leap can testify to that.
  • Giannis didn’t have his best game by the insanely high standards he has set himself of late (thankfully, he did get some rest), yet there was still plenty to swoon over.
  • Jabari Parker’s defense is still far from where it needs to be, but he just sort of ticks along on offense now. He gets his points, finds his favorite spots and continues to look a completely different player on offense than the guy we saw earlier in the year.
