Four and a half stars.

This was a bummer of an end game, but nobody's going to remember that.

They're going to remember the first three.

The ones that seemingly mattered more.

First game going to overtime.

Second game, Fox with the game winner.

Third game, Kawhi going absolutely bonkers, scoring 31, I think he had in that game three.

in a close game where the world had to actually win, and they had to win by three because of the point differential, and those first three were amazing.

And it was funny, we just did the live stream here, and we're like, what happens if the fourth game's a real stinker?

What effect will that have on people remembering this?

We'll see when all the articles come out, but come on, overall, this was a huge win.

And kudos to the guys for giving a damn.

There was way more like...

A little defense, deflections, guys just not giving up, easy, ole, like here you go to the, like not many instances or cherry picking.

They just played a little defense, like 80%, I don't know, 90% effort, and that's all we sort of needed.

Yeah, there was, I don't know, was there three alley-oops because people were playing defense?

There wasn't many of them just because guys were getting back and playing hard.

And, yeah, it started literally with Wemby.

He had three blocks in that opening game and 14 points.

That guy was serious.
