Just thinking that if Wiggs didn't catch some bug, JK is probably on the bench for the last 4 or 5 minutes. Maybe they still win, and maybe it isn't even that close with Wiggs, but we very likely would have missed out on this JK clinic.

This one was especially funny, Apricot. I’m also starting to see the gaggle, which always looked like a whole lotta confusion to me.

Here’s that humble JW interview we’ve been talking about https://youtu.be/ScMFUo9tWqw

So many great plays at the end of that game. Kuminga's steal from Washington. His rebound over Plumlee and Ball. His floater. Poole's reverse around Plumlee, spectacular.

Poole's really getting in a groove lately, despite lousy 3 point shooting last night. 24 pts with 6 assists on three turnovers, not half bad. JFK was spectacular in clutch time, Wiseman and Moody were decent. The whole team except Looney, JFK, and Jerome were positive in +/-.

Has anyone ever seen Theo Maledon play decently? Small sample size, but the games I've seen him play in, he's always been the least interesting player on the floor, and tonight was no exception.

How long is JMG out for? I'm really enjoying all the spot minutes JW is getting and impacting the game. I don't want it to stop.

During the game I was focused on all the flashy stuff: the Kuminga steal and the Poole dances with Plumlee. But after watching this recap, it's that rebound through Plumlee, LaMelo, and Dray that stands out as the most impressive thing that Kuminga did - it's just incredible that he managed to get it over all of them.

JK needs to apologize to my cat.

Washington isn't the only one who lost something last night. My poor kitty lost the lap he was trying to nap on.

In other news, the Mavs came back to stun the Knicks in historic fashion. Down 9 with under 25 seconds to go? No problem! Luka sent the game to overtime with a truly bonkers play.

Maybe I enjoyed his crazy reaction after hitting that shot, more than the shot itself. Wacky insane mouth agape laughing dance.

Kuminga everywhere. After you watch this E1P, check out the comments from Kerr and Dray on JK in the postgame presser. We’re not the only ones high on what JK supplies!

I love the smell of a good E1P in the morning ... smells like victory.

So funny to see Steph's reaction!! He was so excited he couldn't sit in his seat.
