How's Keegan Doing?

The Kings extend their 7 point halftime lead to 10 after 3 quarters

Can they hang on and force a Game 7?

Keegan has played 34 of the 36 minutes and has 15 pts & 11 rebounds

Monk, off the bench, has 20 pts, 5 rebs, 4 assists, 2 blocks and 1 steal (in 20 minutes)

Fox has 19 pts & 8 assists
 
First Kings game I've watched live this year. Their guards are freaking legit.

Beating GS off the dribble at will.
Yeah, once the kings went small it forced Looney to have to guard on the perimeter and get out of the lane which exposes him and the rest of the old slow bad defenders on the warriors.

It was almost unbelievable how easy it was after that.

Lyles should be at the 5 as much as possible in game 7. Sabonis is a liability because Looney just stands at the rim when he's on Sabonis.

Watch Keegan again on Sunday at 3:30 ET. Game 7 is on ABC. Home game for the Kings.

And as for all the earlier media comments comparing Caitlin Clark to Steph Curry, after watching him play tonight I've gotta say that Clark > Curry by a mile.
 
Spectacular performance by Kings despite 8 t/o in 1st qtr.

Best game overall in the NBA playoffs,any team.
As Van Gundy commented "top 5 game in franchise history".

Can they follow it up with a similar effort on sunday?
Game 7 brings new level of desperation from defending world champs?
Kings better brace themselves.

Nice game there for Murray despite going 0fer in the 2nd half from 3. Hopefully they can win game 7. I thought the best part of the game call is when they said Keegan had 11 assists.
 
Harrison Barnes got injured and Sabonis was in foul trouble. He played a lot of the 4 position and defended really well. Got called out by Mark and Jeff for “holding down the fort.”
This. Believe it or not a Hawkeye was on the floor because he was active on the boards and defense! He kept at least 3-4 balls alive in the 2nd half and stayed in even though he couldn’t make a shot. Fun to watch.

Can they do it again?

The warriors struggled big time against the lineup with Lyles at the 5 because they didn't have Sabonis or Lenn to put in a pick and roll.

They were getting most of their easy baskets the past 3 games off of Looney or Green rolling to the rim and then kicking to the corner off the help.

Its a interesting situation for Brown to be in.

Through the entire season NBA refs are better. The playoffs looking different.

Is some of that effort/intensity of the game play?

Long regular season and players not playing at the physical level they do in the post season?

B1G and NCAA season is shorter and usually playing with the same physicality for the whole season
