I remember last season they were the only team with a winning record when trailing after the half. Little things like this remind me how focused this team can be. It makes me optimistic they’ll win every must-win game in the playoffs like they did last year .

That must mean they’re 40-9 when winning or tied going into the fourth. I’m curious how that would stack up against the other contenders.

It’s a nice stat, but we all remember how we have lost games after going into the fourth Q with the lead. Those are the frustrating games when people talk about our " lack of execution in the fourth".
