Kings (10-7) at Celtics (14-4) Game #19 11/25/22

What created this run - more defensive effort or more efficient offense ?

I was back and forth some with Vols basketball and tonite's CFB game.

Both - it was mainly energy that Kornet and Pritchard brought on the defensive end that translated into good shots in offense, particularly open 3s via drive and relocation. Then the Kings lost heart ans couldn’t stop the run and when the lead got to 20 it was all over

It was a brutal burst, hopefully they don’t think they can just flip the switch all the time

Were I Mazulla I'd start giving some of Grant's minutes to Kornet and maybe Vonleh till he cuts back on the complaining.

Kornet has been a pleasant surprise this year

How is Blake Griffin holding up in the middle of all these DNP's ?
Any complaining or discontent from him ?

Kornet has been a pleasant surprise this year

Indeed.

This run is 35-4. Kings havre tried 3 timeouts to stop it now to no avail

Sure, but this is lacking context and doesn't account for timing.

The Kings didn't call their first timeout until the run was 11-0. Watching the run start, you could tell we were gradually gaining steam leading to us getting more energy and intensity. Someone like me would argue that not calling the timeout sooner allowed us to get going and full of energy again that we hadn't had most of the game, which was really what was making this a close game to begin with. I'm a big believer in momentum in team sports, particularly basketball. And this is why I'm such a stickler to this timeout philosophy.

(Now I will say that this situation is a bit complicated given that I believe there was a tv timeout at the beginning of the run, too, at like 2-0 or 4-0. So that changed the dynamic a bit about when you could/should call the timeout, too.)
