Martell Webster had an awesome night, providing much needed sustained scoring and defense over the course of the entire game. Same for Travis Outlaw and Jarrett Jack. With Roy and Aldridge out, Nate McMillan needed these guys to step up, and they did.
And what can you say about Joel Przybilla? 17 rebounds, with eight of those coming on the offensive glass, is monstrous. He's on a mission.
There's really only one negative thing that came out of tonight's game: the groin injury to Brandon Roy. It looked nasty on the replay, but Roy tried to play through it despite being in obvious pain. Numerous people after the game noted how hard it can be to get over a groin strain, so at the very least I wouldn't expect Roy to play on Thursday against Golden State. If I were a betting man, I'd wager that he'll be out even longer than that.
But enough of my thoughts. Here's what Nate McMillan had to say after the game.
