Regular Season - Sim 34

– 101
– 89

Marcus Smart – 35 pts (4-15 3PT), 6 reb, 7 ast, 1 stl
Anthony Davis – 12 pts, 15 reb, 4 blk
Gary Harris – 11 pts, 4 reb, 6 ast, 1 stl

Shabazz Muhammad – 24 pts, 6 reb
Dennis Schroeder – 14 pts, 6 reb, 4 ast
Alex Len – 13 pts, 6 reb, 1 blk

Not a very dominant win in this one as Boston apparently zoned us real hard. Marcus Smart attempting 15 three-pointers is not something we look forward to seeing very often at all. We had a poor shooting night all-around but had enough firepower to outlast the young Celtics. The turnover differential was hugely in our favor which ultimately tipped the scales.

Brook Lopez - 31pts, 6reb, 3blk
Enes Kanter - 23pts, 13reb, 4blk
Andrei Kirilenko - 18pts, 2reb, 2ast, 1stl
Tyler Hansbrough - 17pts, 5reb, 3stl
Trey Burke - 13pts, 4reb, 2ast, 2stl, 6/6FG

Notes:

Our bench played majority of the game after we broke out a huge lead. Lopez/Kanter just dominated in the frontcourt while we shot 57% as a team. Kanter has been on an absolute roll lately and is making me 2nd guess trading him. We've been heavily pursuing trades for him but he's now put up double-digit boards in 5 straight games. Likely due to the new strategies we have been running with to kick off January. We host the Spurs and Magic next then we'll travel to LA to play the Lakers who still have a 0% Westbrook in the starting lineup
