It was bold to say the least.

But as the saying goes, results justify mean:)

I don't agree with the decision NOT bringing Lin and Asik back at the 5 minutes mark, for the offense was obviously suffering. However, the bench hang on a two possession lead, and made it through the finish line. 

It was a gamble, but McHale does have a point - we are close to playoffs, and we are playing a inferior team with a big lead. The bench should be able to handle the pressure.
