Just caught the game (my hours now make me miss C’s games and so I have to catch it on league pass
)
Man, Tatum really wanted this game! He looked totally different out there. Almost like he was taking this game seriously from the jump (rather than settling in and trying to “flip a switch” to take over late). Maybe it was because of the bad Utah performance where all their doubles “took him out of the game” but it was interesting to hear that he worked out with his trainer during the 2 days off. Maybe this is what helped him shake those bad habits from the post-ASB slump.
The C’s played up to their competition and it was so refreshing to see. Even when the Kings were up early with their hot shooting, I was fairly confident we would catch up (although I didn’t think a blowout would be the end result). I don’t think it’s a coincidence that this is the only top 4 team we played on this road trip and it’s the only time our team stepped their game up lol
