built back the lead late in the third and saw some promising stuff with the 2 man game. This is probably the best way to see if the fit is really there or no

    Yup, that lineup did great, and played longer shifts tonight, and one of the reasons why is Darko trusting units with the other starters and bench players, so he can actually rest Siakam and Barnes at the same time and then play them together more. Energy level in the late 3rd was exceptional, and then it carried over in the Barnes+bench unit in the fourth.

    It’s amusing because I think most of us (including myself) thought the thing to do before the season was to keep their minutes broken up as much as possible and always have one of them on the court, but the opposite may turn out to be true.
