Have no idea how we did it, but Bruins somehow closed to only a 2-point deficit.
Basically, the Perry & Bilo show, carrying the rest of the team. Against a helter-skelter team like MI, we need more than next-to-nothing from our Garbage Man, who is badly needed in games like this.
Best news is Skyy doesn't seem to be favoring his strained hammy on either O or D; be he pushing off that leg or, well, skying.
Great ball movement by MI, as they're one of the better examples I've seen this year in moving without the ball on O. Dusty has schemed them well.
The biggest shocker is we are winning the rebounding game-within-a-game by killing them off the glass by a hard-to-believe 21-11! The offset has been only 2 MI TOs vs 7 for the good guys.
And, yes, the stripe. 17 FTAs to only 6 for us, with the FT pt differential at 8.
If you're leery about the final 20 mins, join the club in that MI has so many more ways to beat us and are unlikely to throw up another 3-pt duck of only 23%.
Would be cool if we can again throttle Mara in the final 20 mins, but expect Dusty to feature him more in the low blocks in the 2H.
GO BRUINS!
