NBA Playoffs: Justin Anderson on fire

After not playing in the first game between the Mavericks and Thunder - a decision Dallas coach Rick Carlisle received a lot of flack for - Justin Anderson is making an impact in game two.

First, of course, was defense

I love watching Justin Anderson attack the glass.

Soon, Simba got going on offense, too.

Where did he come from? You always have to keep your head on a swivel when you've got Simba on the prowl.

And the best way to sum it up?
