I second your observations on Archie. He gave Scott & Pollard their chances, and neither gave good minutes, so he sat them for the duration. And when DMO got in foul trouble, he went with a 2-big lineup (MK at the 5; JR at the 4) that was able to hold serve. He called a few TOs at critical junctures that seemed to help right the ship. And he and the staff seemed to use "feel" in regard to substitutions, letting a guy generally play until he truly needed a break, if he was playing well. Not as much of the "scheduled substitution" garbage.
A great "team" win today. No one person had a truly great game, but a lot of guys had very good games, and that was the difference. Now, on to St. Louis, and a chance to make another statement.
