David Adelman talked about that.

We were switching a lot, putting Jamal on Barnes with the reality that we were going to tilt.

With a big coming over, try to put two on him.

And he play-maked all night.

We got to the end of the game and I thought, okay, it's just time for Aaron to guard him.

That was a decision that was made late in the game.

It was something that we walked through today.

So a little bit of some strategy implemented there to slow the bleeding in crunch time.

Obviously the biggest play of the night, Aaron Gordon with that big block.

Kind of a serendipitous moment.

Pre-game, David Adelman mentioned, I feel like Aaron Gordon and Scottie Barnes are kind of destined to play a game against each other.

And just really like the way that one shook out with Mr. Nugget getting that big block.

It's also funny because doesn't that seem like a really great kind of outcome for Scottie Barnes?

I digress.

This is a nugget show.

One small detail that Alleman really liked tonight, and it actually ended in a missed shot.

He said they got Jamal a great look when the Raptors cross-matched.

Also mentioned that the Raptors are kind of

like cross-matching is in their DNA with their roster and the way it's built.

But he said there was one where they're able to get Jamal a great look and look, do we want to get Nikola the ball?
