Donovan Mitchell’s defensive development has been disappointing but it was encouraging to see Harden have the burst to get around a younger, more athletic guard. pic.twitter.com/USZxv8erQc – 12:15 AM

“Tyrese is on that level. Gotta say he’s one of the top three or four speed guys in the league.” – 5:21 PM
