I like it!

The defensive pressure that is, not the bogus fouls.

12 fouls to 6 seems awfully odd in a game where two teams are playing equally as physical.

Haven't seen a single nova guard who can stay in front of Mitchell or Butler. Hope they attack the rim the rest of the game and don't settle for jump shots
