Two possessions in the fourth I thought I would highlight.

With four minutes remaining, Thomas secures a loose ball rebound and proceeds to pound the rock for 17 seconds. After failing to get by Herro, and also failing to move any off-ball defender a single step, Thomas gives up the ball with 7 seconds left on the shot clock to a covered O'Neale in the corner who shoots the ball. The heavily contested three is missed, however Mikal Bridges cuts baseline, gets the offensive board, and puts the ball in with a foul.

With two minutes remaining. Thomas gets the ball with 12 seconds on the clock. Immediately goes into ISO, dribbles the ball to 2 seconds remaining, and misses a contested off the dribble three on his 19th and last shot of the night.

 

Very much getting giannis/middleton vibes with wemby and Vassell. Bonus points to Vassell with having one of the most underrated and aesthetically pleasing game in the NBA
