The defensive effort for it being the 5th game in 7 nights and the last of a 5-game road trip against a very physically talented Atlanta team was very encouraging. Horford/Smith versus Oden/Aldridge might be a premier frontcourt matchup for several years to come.

I think Blake might be shooting worse because in the Miller/Blake lineup he's always sprinting down court to push the defense. Maybe it's gassing him and effecting his shooting and decision making, especially late in the game.
