A- P. Siakam 29 MIN, 14 PTS, 6 REB, 7 AST, 2 STL, 7-10 FG, 0-2 3FG, 0-0 FT, 0 BLK, 3 TO, -2 +/- Did a great job in his minutes matched up with Millsap, getting the better of him on both sides of the floor. When the ball found him late in the clock he was great at finding the open man, and attacked when available. Tough to critique his game sometimes, his role is so fluent that he seems like he’s always doing it well.

A K. Leonard 35 MIN, 27 PTS, 8 REB, 2 AST, 0 STL, 10-19 FG, 1-7 3FG, 6-6 FT, 0 BLK, 3 TO, -13 +/- It seems like he hits every shot you’d expect of him from inside the arc. From 3-point land, who knows, but when he gets one up off the dribble from inside, it’s always cash. Drove the offense for large parts of the game. Was terrific down the stretch. Sucks to lose this game with him playing so well.

B S. Ibaka 31 MIN, 15 PTS, 5 REB, 2 AST, 0 STL, 6-9 FG, 1-4 3FG, 2-2 FT, 1 BLK, 2 TO, -6 +/- Tough game to judge for him. Even tougher call at the end of the game. Jokic ate his lunch, but Jokic eats everything. He was great on the pick n’ pop, and was by no means a bad defender tonight.

B+ D. Green 31 MIN, 9 PTS, 3 REB, 0 AST, 2 STL, 3-9 FG, 3-7 3FG, 0-0 FT, 0 BLK, 0 TO, 5 +/- “A Danny Green Movie” playing at your theatre 365 days a year. Remarkably consistent, especially on defense. The plus-minus isn’t everything but it is telling. He plays his role to a tee. Hurts to miss those shots at the end, but better players shovelled the ball to him, he’s supposed to put them up at that point.

B- K. Lowry 34 MIN, 5 PTS, 3 REB, 11 AST, 1 STL, 1-7 FG, 1-6 3FG, 2-2 FT, 3 BLK, 3 TO, -12 +/- We all love the floor game, and appreciate what he does. That being said, his scoring can’t be this flippant. 5-points on 1-7 shooting can never cut it, even with the 11-assists. His hesitance to shoot late in games continues to worry me. Lots of little things to love about what he did tonight, overall though, he’s too quiet.

F F. VanVleet 18 MIN, 2 PTS, 2 REB, 4 AST, 3 STL, 1-7 FG, 0-5 3FG, 0-0 FT, 0 BLK, 2 TO, -1 +/- The usage rate is absurd, it’s been absurd for weeks. Please defer some of his possessions to Wright, and let’s all benefit from it. Has no vision as a pnr ball handler right now. The ball is leaking air when he has it. Tough to watch so often.

B+ J. Valanciunas 18 MIN, 8 PTS, 10 REB, 0 AST, 0 STL, 3-6 FG, 0-0 3FG, 2-2 FT, 1 BLK, 1 TO, 0 +/- If not for those missed bunnies clouding my vision, I would have thought this to be a very strong game. His second half was especially good, and his work on the glass was huge. He battled, man. I liked his performance tonight.

C+ C. Miles 16 MIN, 8 PTS, 0 REB, 0 AST, 1 STL, 3-8 FG, 2-6 3FG, 0-0 FT, 0 BLK, 1 TO, 9 +/- His 2nd three of the night was massive for the run at hand, but his overall game remains poor. It’s disappointing that I look at 2-6 and think: “ahh, progress”.

A D. Wright 15 MIN, 9 PTS, 3 REB, 2 AST, 2 STL, 4-7 FG, 1-1 3FG, 0-0 FT, 0 BLK, 1 TO, 6 +/- Awesome work off the bench. Deserved to have a huge bite out of VanVleet’s proverbial apple, of which he got none. Creative getting to the rim. Showed off why we’re so confident in his set 3-point shot. He’s back, and Nurse should run with that.

C O. Anunoby 12 MIN, 6 PTS, 1 REB, 0 AST, 0 STL, 2-5 FG, 2-3 3FG, 0-0 FT, 0 BLK, 1 TO, -1 +/- Another weird game for Anunoby as he is pressed to create as part of a bench squad. Or worse, is a bystander to VanVleet’s over dribbling. The Siakam-Anunoby stagger has to be coming.
