Darko should've kept Alijah Martin and Allen Graves out for longer. They combined 7/9 from 3. Should've ridden the hot hands all the way to the finish. Especially alijah. Instead we got IQ shot chucking.

However, I think what hurt was the fact that we actually put up a decent fight missing our two superstars. The fact that we dragged this game to the very end but lost because of dumb mistakes from IQ and RJ was actually kinda encouraging. Some takeaways... 1) If Alijah Martin doesn't get more freaking minutes AND touches ASAP I might lose it. He clearly has the hot hand. He was used...
