Not trying to be a smart arse, but seriously can you show me how? I viewed this game more of the missed shots and turn overs from the Warriors

Sure:

That defensive play where the rebound was loose and up for grabs and ended in a clear path foul , Z put as much effort into finishing that play as I’ve seen him make since college. That was a Josh Hart type play and I loved to see it when the game was on the line. He also had a very nice rebound on that missed free throw by Draymond. That lineup that closed the game really showed a lot of heart and fight. Hitting shots and free throws is what ultimately secured th game, but the level of fight we brought to the Warriors in the last 4 minutes was absolutely beautiful.

Zion definitely had some nice moments for sure and lets hope he has turned some sort of corner. That being said, the last few minutes of this game will not make me forget the absolutely atrocious defense and hustle he has displayed over the course of this season. I am not going to be fooled by a few minutes of a game but lets hope it turns out to be more of a consistent thing.

All I'll say is last nights win was fantastic and it was EXACTLY what we needed. Winning games like that will help us so much in the long term.

I thought it was really bad to start the season, then it really improved over the middle of the season. But now towards the end of the season, it appears to have reverted back to earlier, there's just very little effort from him on defense.

The amount of times he gives the very half assed jogging close out that doesn't even contest the 3 but also just allows the guy to shot fake and go right by him is maddening. If you're not going to give the effort, then don't half arse run to the 3pt line to give the guy the option, just stay in the lane or take a couple of steps forward and get in a defensive posture(which he rarely does as well) but this jog out where he doesn't contest the shot or stop the drive happens way too much.
