- Walker Mehl: At the team's ninth turnover (which the host believes was Christian Anderson's), the lineup on the floor was Anderson, Liam McNeeley, Royce O'Neale, PJ Hall and Tidjane Salaun. Memphis's comeback came with this group in. at 3:43
- Walker Mehl: Host's view: Christian Anderson is a very quick processor in the pick-and-roll (slip passes, low dribbles, quick skip/spray passes). He argues one of Anderson's charged turnovers was really Liam McNeeley's fault for not slipping, and points to a later pick-and-roll where Anderson's bounce pass set up a floater for Naz Reid. at 13:03
- Walker Mehl: After the missed-slip turnover, Charles Lee called a timeout right away and looked straight at Liam McNeeley, not at Anderson. Royce O'Neale encouraged McNeeley. The host reads Lee as frustrated, which is his own inference. at 13:48
- Walker Mehl: The Hornets use a lot of "hit-under" screening actions. Kon Knueppel was very good at them, and the host thinks the team wants Liam McNeeley to get shots off them. at 14:15
- Walker Mehl: Host's view: the staff is coaching Liam McNeeley hard, possibly because the team may need him in the rotation now and in the future. at 15:26

- Doug Branson: Starting lineup: Dennis Schroeder (Dennis Schroder), Brandon Miller (his second straight start), Royce O'Neal (Royce O'Neale), Naz Reid and Moussa Diabate. O'Neale replaced Liam McNeeley in the lineup. at 4:05
- Doug Branson: The host thought the O'Neale-for-McNeeley swap was mostly about matching up with Tatum and George, rather than leaving McNeeley, who in the host's view hasn't looked great on defense. at 4:12
- Doug Branson: Turnover breakdown: Royce O'Neal (Royce O'Neale) 5, Naz Reid 3, Schroeder (Dennis Schroder) 3, and Ryan Kalkbrenner and Liam McNeeley 3 each. at 19:29

- Doug Branson: The playmaking was by committee: 12 players had an assist, and four had 3 or more (Schroder, James, McNeeley and Miller). at 15:52
- Doug Branson: Liam McNeeley is named as one of the bench players who made big plays. The host frames his place in the rotation as an open question. at 18:31
