Hey good job! You got a lot of information packed in there, much more than I did. ;)
I liked that you used the 25-of-out-of-26 home wins stat. That was good that you mentioned that they set a new franchise record for three-pointers; I forget to say that. You did a good job mentioning all the contributors, and adding Memo's block of Duncan. Nice work
