Title: we excorcised some demons with that one...

I though the blocked shot that resulted with a shot clock beating 3 by Dyson was just the latest in a series of gut wrencing losses.  But DJO knocking down 3 pressure packed Ft's and Butler hitting that shot and then not getting our hearts ripped out with 2.4 seconds left was nice to see.  these kids deserved a win like that one.  maybe the ball will continue bouncing our way for the next month.  It sure did not the last month.

I was worried about DJO's confidence at the line after he missed two earlier in the second half.  Nice to see that he's confident enough to force a foul in a key situation.  The shot by Jimmy was Novak-esque against ND.

Is it too soon to dub this game "The Jimmy Butler Game"?

Definitely too early. Novak was harrassed defensively in that final possession. The only thing I could think was "how in the hell was he even able to get that shot off!"

Kudos to Jimmy and DJO for their contributions at the line and Jimmy's very clutch basket with 2.8 remaining. Awesome finish to an awesome game!
