HappiMiami's five main minute men were Nikola (Jovic), Tyler, Bam, Scary Terry, Pelle. Weird.
Kel'el-Pelle. Kel'el solidified his pole position as ROTY with this 0 points, 13 rebs in 19' performance, which shows that he can play any Big role that Spo designates: Score? He can do that, from in and out. Ignore points and concentrate on boards--yeah, he proved he can do that tonight. Kel'el is a Revelation and noone is more surprised than this here idiot blogger.
Pelle, you might be tempted to think ESPN's statistician double typed. Instead of his usual ~2', he had 22' tonight: 5, 2, 1, 1 stl, 2 blks, 1 fouls +7, second high + on team.
Nikola (Jovic) played the most minutes on the team, 37, as the second guy off the bench: 23 (2nd high), 5, 7, 0, 1 blk, 3 t.o.s, 3 fouls, +5 (4-way tied for third on team).
Tyler, as so often this season, was our main man: 36', 30 on 11/20 (5/11), 7, 7, 2 stls, 7 t.o.'s, +14, team high.
Bam. Bam had a full box score: 34', 13, 4, 7 t.o.s, 3 fouls +5.
We turned the ball over an astounding 22 times, 14 from Tyler and Bam combined, resulting in 25 Phila-Boo points to only 5 for aforesaid Phila-Boo. But thanks to Kel'el and Bam, we killed them on the glass 54-39. Otherwise we would have blown them out of the Spectrum.
We shot well, 47% (41.2%, exceptional) and we found our D, holding Electric Maxey, Paul George John Ringo and the rest to 38.5% (30%).

This night was a complete success. We got the dub, we got younger, we got cap relief, we got more diverse assets. Add it all up and we got out of a strait-jacket and gained greater flexibility for future deals if we wish.The future in HappiMiami has brightened considerably. Where are my sunglasses?
