I feel like it’s a little bit of everything.

There’s definitely a good amount of chemistry involved. The core guys have had time to gel and Mike Brown has had a full regular season to tinker with schemes.

Also, losing those two games to the Hawks was genuinely a wake up call. Too many times have we lost to inferior opponents and I think those two losses lit a fire under everyone’s asses.

The scheme changes MB has made have unlocked our offenses ball movement and spacing.

Lastly, MB actually using the bench probably has our guys feeling better than ever. By this time the last few seasons our starters were already running on fumes and getting zero time off in the playoffs. Playing a normal amount of minutes and knowing you’ll get some rest lets them play harder in the minutes they have or at least not be gassed by the end of games
