The only change I saw was that he played his rookie at PF, moved his regular PF to C, and moved his starting C to the bench. So he was only missing one of his key players compared to how he played other games. So the win still looks very solid to me.
I personally feel like I got lucky to have been the home team, too. The Crusaderz are the better team for sure if we played on a neutral court. The top 4 in the Big 8 are all great teams, and this is just a tough stretch of the season for all of the Great 8 teams. Hopefully we can steal a couple more and keep the momentum from this first round of games.
