That vs. pick and roll because pnr will create the easiest option for player movement on both ends. You force the defense to react and your team can find a rhythm without having to utilize 5 moving pieces at once. The Kings still tend to set the ball up at the elbow first and faceup, handoff, or run curl screens. They also set the ball up in the post through players like Willie where that's not really making your team as dangerous as it can be. A lot of times they run a pick and roll with there only being enough time to get a single option out of it. If the Kings reverse that and instead run more middle pick and roll early in the clock I think the moments where the other teams adjustments defensively totally shut down the Kings will be less frequent. When the defense focuses their efforts towards that then run it up the gut, or run some post action, etc. Tonight was obviously partly a youth thing though, not totally strategic, but again, quarters like that have been a big problem this year. Usually it's the 2nd or the 3rd, not the 4th, but the same nonetheless.
