I was pretty impressed with Newton today and I don't think he did anything special.
11 Points (5-9), 6 Assists, 4 Rebounds and 1 Steal. Oh yeah, only 1 TO.
He didn't force anything, he ran the actual offense and really hustled on D.

Great game from Murphy, Reed had a solid performance and the Aussie looked good.
Let's be real , Newton has been so bad and a walking turnover. That's why we're so happy about today.
He actually ran the offense and played a smart game. Nothing amazing.
That should tell him something, if he plays smart we have a good chance every night. The sad thing is the guy can get in the paint at will, he just F's up, misses a shot or turns it over.
If you noticed today ,when he started attacking the shots were less contested than normal. Because there was the threat of the pass, not automatically throwing up a tear drop on 3 defenders.
