Good job scrapping that half. That's our team this year. Fight and claw. 41% shooting but the effort gets you a halftime lead.

I've noticed in multiple games this season (don't ask me how many) the Bears tend to play better in the second half. I hope that is true tonight.

yeah that was some serious flopping by Shayok. But smart veteran play. All basketball players should take acting classes- refs reward it.

Makai has been a momentum killer. Even still, we're in this game. If he can even play a little bit like healthy Makai, we can win this.
