Not initially but ultimately, yes. They started a bit cautiously and hadn't been able to really develop much rhythm which is normal considering how little they have played together in a matchEverything that has been missing in the past few games— intensity, speed of ball movement, accuracy, good combination wall passing. Sorely lacking in finishing but everything else was entertaining.

BIG 10 days coming up starting Saturday, strap yourselves in!
