Analysis:

The blowout nature of the contest likely aided in the reduced workload, but Pero Antic (ankle) also proved his relative health by logging 16 minutes in his first appearance since Jan. 22. Brand boasts averages of nine points (on 50 percent shooting), 7.9 rebounds, two assists, 1.8 blocks, and 0.8 steals in 32.6 minutes across eight second-half tilts, but the presence of Antic could forecast the end of the former's relevance in standard leagues.
