Nice recovery by Xavier after the botched dunk. Went right back inside, connects on the soft runner. AK

More Henry, as he converts an and-1, though Parker's two consecutive transition hoops put SAS back up 46-44 late in the 2nd.

I like how Pau didn’t just thank Bazemore for the dime, but went out of his way compliment the pass. Beneficial to a young player. AK
