“It takes up space downstairs”, comments the Kings coach. “It’s a monster and I find that we have not been collectively on the rebound. It takes a player in front of him and another behind him to try to move him away from the circle. »
Steven Adams alone had nearly as many offensive rebounds as the entire Kings (14). The Grizzlies gobbled up 21 offensive rebounds, then turned into 15 points.
