Tim Legler

Fresh legs, to me, are always what you want.

Maybe that helped them down the stretch because they were the fresher team.

They were able to dig deep to get that done defensively, but the three-point shooting was nonexistent for them.

That had to change, but it started with...

We've got to get the ball to go in multiple times in a row.

At the same time, we're getting stops.

They hadn't been able to do it until they went back to basically the Jalen Brunson-New York Knick offense for the day he got there, which was high ball screener ISO and just let him go against the matchup he prefers.

Because they've been running their offense differently.

Toronto Lansing Towns to top a lot, handling the ball a lot.

His touches have gone up like 30% over the course of a game.

That's how they've been running their offense.

And it's been very effective for seven straight games.

Really incredible how they've played.

But when push came to shove in this game, they said, you know what?

We got to get the ball to go in a few times in a row.

And so let's go back to this.

Jalen Brunson, simplification.

Let me pick who I want to play against.

And the Cavs allowed him to pick who he wanted to play against.

And he saw the result.
