    • Wiggins, Flemings and Landale came in together as a bench trio, as they have regularly this season. at 14:54
    • In the fourth quarter, an 11-2 Houston run ended with a run of turnovers by Flemings and Nickeil Alexander-Walker, putting the Hawks down 19 with about 8.5 minutes left. at 18:03
    • Kingston Flemings played the fewest minutes: 14, with 2 points, 2 assists, 1 rebound, 2 turnovers, minus-7, and 0 of 2 from three. at 23:14
    • Host view on Flemings: he has competed on defense, but his offense and shooting have been shaky, which the host calls understandable for a 19-year-old rookie. He is probably the weak link in the rotation so far, though the host still believes in him. at 23:35

    Eventually, Kingston Flemings offense will be a big part of his game. For now, his defense is going to get him minutes. He's made a bunch of impact defensive plays already in his debut game.

    • Bench order: Lu Dort was the first sub and came in very early. Flemings, Landale and Wiggins followed. The host called the rotation 'no surprises, really.' at 14:44
    • As on Wednesday, the two-way players were inactive. Only 13 players were active, and Kingston Flemings was the only available backup guard. at 19:09
    • Because of the guard shortage, the host thinks Alexander-Walker and Dyson Daniels played more in the fourth quarter than he would have liked. Flemings played 15.5 minutes in the second half. at 19:40
    • Rookie Kingston Flemings had 5 points, 8 assists, 6 rebounds and 3 turnovers, and was +15. The host says he played well again, with fewer rookie moments than in the second half against Orlando. at 24:45
