A few notes from the 97-92 loss to the Kings:
- The story of the first half was all about transition. It may be tough to stop some of the Kings ballhandlers like Evans and Casspi when they get their forward momentum hurling towards the rim, but there really isn’t an excuse for allowing a guy like Beno Udrih to go uncontested for a relatively easy two points. The Kings 14 first half fast break points sparked their 56 point half and put the Clippers in a big hole early. The Kings finished with 22 fast break points while the Clippers were only able to manage 6 points from their transition opportunities. If nothing else, tonight just further proved that saying you want to run and actually having the personnel and desire to do so are two completely different things.
