Just an absurd iso possession by DeMar that violates pretty much every single thing a basketball coach would tell you to do in this situation except it’s a Hall of Famer doing it so he somehow beats the double team so bad that Dinwiddie literally falls flat on his face watching Deebo score lol.

Was moreso a C, C+ game from Keon for me. Wasn't as effective on defense as he usually was, but hey. If you can keep Kyrie to 30 on 25 shots as a team... you're doing something right.
To his credit, he had some strong defensive possessions at the end of regulation/funneled Kyrie right into Malik for the closing shot.

I remember when that was a travel. But maybe I'm just old
 
Lavine, a 44 percent 3 point shooter who has shot over 40 percent every single month this year is 4-26 (15%) with the Kings. This is for sure a rhythm issue but wow. The thing is he is still producing and not forcing. Imagine if he was actually hitting his shots.
He’s got a lot of room for growth with the team. Hopefully he didn’t catch whatever got into Huerter, but Velvet is 1-4 from 3 with Chicago. If he starts shooting the lights out I might get nervous

Yep, he boxed himself in the corner and unboxed himself for a wide open winner. Just fricking ridiculous.

LaVine probably also hasn't slept very much the past few weeks, since the reason he was missing those few games with the Bulls was because of the birth of his child. So between no sleep AND learning a new team, there's probably a lot going on for him to get back into his form
