We finally dropped the hammer on someone. Season-high in points and margin of victory. Very nice. thompson was spectacular - he scored 19 of the Bruins' first 22. He had 27 at half and finished with 39, on only a total of 18 field goal attempts. And Don McClean told me REPEATEDLY that Thompson was very unselfish in the 2nd half, putting the W before any personal accomplishments. Farmar recovered from a slow start and foul trouble in the first half to score all 18 of his points after halftime. This was a very convincing victory and hopefully a sign of things to come.

Now for at least a little bit of realism: we will not shoot 60% from the field every night. Nor will we go 13 of 20 from 3 every night (13 is a season high in this category too). There is no way most teams are going to let us run up and down the floor like we did tonight. Oh, and Fey and Hollins combined for 7 points.

But hey, this was a great win. I'm looking forward to Saturday.

Quick note: Howland is saying that Josh Shipp had a badly bruised thigh and he was fortunate to even play tonight. Hopefully this won't be any type of problem down the line.
