Right on! You need Kawhi to win, but you also need Kawhi at his best. This is why rest matters.
The game is tied with 4.2 seconds left. You inbound to Kawhi and he dribbles to the far corner, pursued by Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons. Fading away, it's not an easy shot. You have so little room for error, but this is where those extra minutes on the bench make the difference. Kawhi makes the shot.
Yes, that shot.
You beat the 76ers in seven games. Next up, the juggernauts of the regular season: Giannis and the Bucks.
Earlier, you chose to trust your ball movement. Now, it's paying off. Open shots begin to fall, from Siakam, from Lowry, from Gasol. Who's going to be your sixth man against Milwaukee?
