The Cs reportedly had a tough/energetic practice before their match vs. the young and talented Milwaukee Bucks Thursday night. It paid off. The defense was solid like 'in the old days' (though Greg Monroe still had it too easy too often in the paint), Amir Johnson got back to his beastly ways, every starter played well, and Isaiah Thomas was the star of the show at the end.
I.e., order has been restored to the Universe.
Even the refs were much improved this time — though Isaiah is still mysteriously not getting the foul calls he clearly deserves, no matter how hard he's hit.
