Helplessly, the milestone has become a mileage sadness, which is really a bitter word. Wei Shao also continued the excellent play of the previous game, shooting 10 of 15, 3 of 3 of 3 from three points, and had 22 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists, including 8 points and 1 assist in the final quarter. Munch was efficient on 6-of-9 shooting and also had 17 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists, Stanley Johnson had 12 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, and Anthony had 13 points and 4 rebounds.
Vogel is really self-inflicted, Porzingis in the final quarter to give, the whole game 27 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists, the last quarter alone 16 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist, but he is not high, Howard was abandoned again in this game, it is really regrettable.
