Lucas: The Right Group

Posted Mar 4, 2012
This will be remembered as the game when Reggie Bullock limited Austin Rivers to 5-of-12 from the field and just 1-of-6 from the three-point line. But to say that is to shortchange the work of P.J. Hairston in relief of Bullock, and of senior Justin Watts during a key first-half stretch when Bullock was battling foul trouble. This is what Williams meant about having the right group.
