If Murray and KZ are going to look this good in a switch scheme this team will be climbing those defensive ratings shortly. I like Murray playing the help guy much better than Barnes. His length is way more impactful there.
I actually thought it was good refereeing. The ref wasn't going to call it if Reggie made the layup, which is good officiating. The replay showed Sabonis kind of shoving him a bit before he shot. I think Sabonis just needs to keep his hands up there.

You know, relative to Zubac's role in the Clippers' offense, you'd look at him having 11/12 on 5-6 shooting, and think that he was giving Sabonis trouble, and then you see that Sabonis has 24 points on 11 shots.
You can see just knowing that he's going to switch and prepare rather than react or expend energy going over everything really allows Murray to square up and anticipate. The shot is a mental thing right now but his defense is a HUGE plus.
