Mmmmmm.  This is nice.  I don't want to get too carried away, and this was a
game that had some potential turning points .... but beating Orlando and New
York in consecutive games - yes !

Special kudos to the "2nd Unit" - whom the TNT announcers said deserved credit
for the win.  Plus some points from Pierce (whom Reggie Theus jokingly
referred to as "The second best player from Inglewood High", and Walker didn't
hurt either.  (Guess where Reggie Theus went to High School ?)

They also gave Andrew a lot of credit, and the "Barros - DeClerq pick and
roll" seems to keep on rolling.  Battie also had a couple of nice moments, as
did Bowen on defense - and the defense really was key to the game.

So - who need big men ?  Orlando - Issac Austin, Grant, etc.  N.Y. Patrick
Ewing .....  Hah !  How fast can they run, huh ?

A happy fan,

Hank M.
