Deuce and Mo pointed out that on that 4 point play, Derozan felt Herro’s arm so he shot knowing he would draw the foul. Watching it live I just thought he was going for a quick 3. Super smart play.
they also said that the kings are shooting something like 22 percent on wide open threes so far. Have to think that number will tick up soon

I think this was the first match (cause it happened also with Utah, Portland and Atlanta) that the Kings didn't concede a 10-0 or worse run in the final 15 minutes of the regulation, it did happen though in the end of 2nd quarter just before halftime.
For sure it was a great win, first with such a happy ending this season but despite DDR and Fox/Domas heroics, if we continue the trend to shoot so bad from the 3 while our opponents thrive from the same spot, it will take us nowhere. I guess that made some forum members frustrated around halftime and we saw similar stuff in several matches before this season.
Last year at some point there was a statistic that if a team shot 20+%better from 3 than their opponent (not sure how to explain it well in English, like if shooting 45% and the opponent lower than 25%) more than 90something% times they won the match.
Against their Heat things turned around when we stopped their 3s (Larsson, Herro, Robinson) in the 2nd half and we started making our own (Keegan, Fox, DDR) in the 2nd half without shooting in such a high volume (maybe better that way) so the margin percentage wise wasn't that big. At halftime we had 3/14 3s vs 11/20 for the Heat, but at 2nd half we had 7/13 while the Heat only 4/16.

Given the officiating in this game, it was surprising that Sabonis was not called for a foul on Bam during the final play. After watching the replay over-and-over, it appeared Sabonis had Bam's jersey in his grasp and gave Bam a shove on the rebound. Bam acted like he was pushed out of the way (whether real or fake) and Sabonis had clear access to the rebound. It will be interesting if the "Two-minute report" addresses this play.
But a win is in the books regardless. We never know when just the one more win will be a decisive factor at the end of the season.

Agree. I think adding that much muscle will really screw up the muscle memory for a bit. He just has to get used to it. I’m confident he will.
You can see that almost all of his misses are too long or too short and almost never off the mark, which would indicate he is trying to figure out how much strength to put into each shot.

Great win. Really held it together after getting destroyed from 3 in the first half.
I blame the NBA for subjecting us to watching Jimmy Butler absolutely spaz his way to the line all game. I can barely tell the difference between him and Austin Reeves anymore. Does the NBA really actually think that NBA fans want to watch that kind of garbage or do they just allow it so they can use the refs to control the outcome of games?

Keegan has said himself that almost all of his misses are on target but short. I’d love to hear a shooting coach’s opinion on this but it seems like this would be an easy fix. Could he start his shooting motion a little higher? Could he have more emphasis on the follow through? Could he aim six inches higher with his eyes on the back of the rim? If he is missing by six inches most of the time that should be able to be figured out
