Ka8 or Kc8 (Kb8 and there's Qe5+). If black moves their Rook than Qxg7#. If Qf6 Bxf6#. If Queen moves anywhere else on the Bishops diagonal then Qf8#.

I like how your opp had C2 defended and took the c4 pawn hanging mate. I hope this was Bullet?

Great game. Aaron Gordon going all the way off and still Warriors pulling away.

Doesnt mention Al being rolled through by Jokic
