Why Not Foul Alabi?

Thought doubling down on the post would have been the right move.  We had luck with steals earlier in the game before they got tired.   I am wondering what the team was doing Saturday as they did have a full off day.  If Buzz did sense they were going to be tired then why push it so much in the first half?   There was a sequence with turnovers and bad shots in the first half where if they had set up, they might have both built the lead and also saved some energy.   You can only play at that pace if you can last or are willing to play a deep bench to give everyone their rest.

Finally, it looked like Buycks had a chance on the free ball but if you looked there was no one else on that side but him leaving his man open for an easy 10 footer or driving the lane.

tiotally agree on the energy aspect of pressing in the first half. If you're going to do that you absolutely have to play more people. Would it have been so wrong to give EWill and Mbao three minutes each just to keep legs fresh?

At one point in the first half it appeared that E Will was coming into the game.
Then there was a dead ball and a TV time out.  When they came back he
was on the bench.  Would have been nice to see what he could might have brought to the Offense.
