As painful as that looked for Richie, him being out may have been just what was needed to get Mawot on track.

The shooting may not always be there, but this was the first time we got a good look at what we had hoped to see defensively. I was especially impressed by the possessions where he forced traveling turnovers. You have to have a really solid defensive base and active hands to make those sort of stops.

With Bosko having some shooting troubles and Catchings still learning where to pick his spots, I think you need to give a healthy dose of those minutes to Mawot.
