How's Keegan Doing?

[Franisdaman]

Not so great night for Keegan on offense and defense and only 4 minutes for Garza, 0 points. Oh well, first time I caught their games! Hopefully Keegan has better game Monday.

Anthony Edwards went off for 34 point off 14-21 shooting (5-7 from 3).

Keegan was guarding Ant here:

Sorry for the confusion, I was referring to when the Kings hosted the 76'ers on Jan 22 and lost with Joel Embiid and James Harden not playing.

Stinks, not being able to watch. How's Keegan's defense doing?

Stinks, not being able to watch. How's Keegan's defense doing?

his defense is ok

The Kings are shooting 7% (1-14) from 3 yet only trail by 2 at halftime, 53-51. Keegan made that 3 and is 3-6 from the field (1-3 from 3) for 7 points and 4 rebounds in 19 minutes

 

[Franisdaman]

pretty incredible

 

[Franisdaman]

Sabonis got called for a moving screen, which was BS; he was not happy & complained

then he gets hammered under the basket, no call. he loses his mind and gets hit with a technical foul

wolves lead by 1 with 3 minutes to go

Sac getting the short end of officiating tonight. Wolves tie it up at end of regulation with a 3 that shouldn’t have counted due to an obvious no call travel.

Luka (and Frank) was back in Minneapolis tonight.

He did not see any action.

This was postgame

 

[Franisdaman]

Sabonis got called for a moving screen, which was BS; he was not happy & complained

then he gets hammered under the basket, no call. he loses his mind and gets hit with a technical foul

wolves lead by 1 with 3 minutes to go

everyone initially thought Sabonis got hit with 2 T's so he was escorted off the court. when they realized he was hit with just one, he came back to the court

 

[Hawksfor3]

Keep those double-doubles coming. Huerter with only 3 points, but helped the team with 5 rebounds and 4 assists. Glad they got the W.

More Keegan postgame

13 rebounds for the game.



Here's one of them.

Sac getting the short end of officiating tonight. Wolves tie it up at end of regulation with a 3 that shouldn’t have counted due to an obvious no call travel.

Keegan didn't like this call. Looks like he got the pass off before stepping out. This is about as animated as I have ever seen him.

 

[Franisdaman]

Keegan hit a huge 3 in OT. The Kings offense is so good.
