Note: This daily review captures and records the top individual +/- figures from each game from the previous day. Plus/minus is not a perfect statistic by any means, and it is often used as an index of individual performance like counting stats. That's NOT what I intend to do here. I think single game +/- figures can reflect interesting things that are not immediately obvious about games from the headlines. Which players made a two-way impact? Which players are part of particularly useful rotations? When did teams win games?

So why don't Ralph Roe and Ted Cole, who also got out and were never seen again, get more attention?
In December of 1961, Frank Morris, along with John & Clarence Anglin, and Allen West were assigned to cells adjacent of one another. Over the next six months, the men plotted an escape from Alcatraz. A feat that had been attempted before but the convicts either died trying to swim across the bay of San Francisco or were apprehended and returned to Alcatraz.
During the six months, all four men chipped away at a vent that was found beneath each sink until it was wide enough to allow them passage into the utility hall on the other side of the vent. To chip away at the walls, the men used discarded saw blades found lying about the prison grounds, spoons from the mess hall, and even a drill they manufactured out of a motor from a vacuum.
In order to hide their progress, they made a cardboard cutout of the original size of the vent and painted it so it would blend in with the walls. They used contact cement in order to adhere the cardboard to the wall. The noise of their work was covered by music hour in which they were able to dig with the sound of musical instruments masking the sounds of their digging.
Once the men made their vent holes large enough to pass through, they were able to meet above the utility hall in a vacant part of the prison where they were able able to set up a clandestine workshop unbeknownst to anyone else both guards and prisoners. To mask their absence when they were in the workshop at night, the men were able to make papier-mache heads that represented each of their own features. Hair was collected from the barber shop to use as wigs for the heads. Flesh colored paint was also used in disguising these heads.
In the workshop, the men were able to use raincoats they had stolen in order to make DIY life-jackets as well as a raft to use in the crossing of the bay. To inflate the jackets and raft, the men made a concertina with materials they were able to find. The men were going to escape through the roof of the prison by climbing a ventilation shaft above the workshop.
Now that the preparations were in place, it was time to escape. The men agreed to leave right after lights out in order to avoid an inmate count until the next morning.
Unfortunately, the cement Allen West had used hardened causing his vent cover to be difficult to remove. When West finally was able to remove the vent cover the other three men were already gone. He returned to his cell and slept until the next morning.
Once the guards discovered the three men had

It seems like both Morris twins aren't in Orlando
The spacing didn’t help much with Portis in the starting lineup and I think Drummond would absolutely feast against BP. He might feast anyway, and Mitch is REALLY gonna have to watch the fouls. DSJ and Payton will both be out at least until Sunday.
What are you looking to see in this game? For me, I just want to see how they bounce back mentally.
Repeat after me
