On international TV, we played with effort, and took a lead into the second half; with our best player out, and our second best player outplaying everyone on the reigning Western Conference Champions.
If we follow this effort up with a win on international TV against LAL tomorrow night; we'll go a long way towards impressing the national NBA media, and the league as a whole.
Given the effort show by the players tonight, I think they're up to the challenge of proving that we're better than our record indicates.
