Everything went right in the 1st quarter. Good defense. Carney even hit a 3 on a fast break and was fouled to make a 4 point play. 28-11.
We had a few days off due to Christmas, and I didn't practice the guys. I think I may have been practicing them too much. With a few days of rest, they are playing the best basketball I've seen all year.
51-24 at the half! By far our biggest lead ever
We are shooting 53%. They are shooting 26%.
McGrady has 19 points, 5 boards, and 5 assists. He is shooting 64%.
Pietrus is their leading scorer with 8 points.
Carney has 12 points on 50% shooting.
Early in the 3rd, Richardson injures his ankle.
He comes back later, apparently it was just a level 1 sprain according to the announcers.
End of 3: 72-43! I'm going to rest McGrady for the rest of the game unless they pull within 15.
