“This one hurts.

We shouldn’t be losing to the worst team in the league. That’s not disrespect — that’s reality. We had control early, Kev was dominant again, Ricky was finding everyone, and I felt good when I checked in. The game was there for us.

I just tried to bring energy. Attack closeouts. Run the floor. Stay active defensively. Seventeen points in 20 minutes — I’ll take that. I’m starting to feel like I belong out there.

But down the stretch, Kemba Walker went nuclear. I’m talking deep pull-ups, off-balance runners, contested threes that barely touched net. The kind of shots where you defend it perfectly and still just turn around shaking your head. He broke our momentum with two of them in the final minutes.

That’s the league. If you relax for even a stretch, someone makes you pay.

We let this one slip. And games like this? They stick with you."
