Keys to the Game:
•Defense
Let's just keep this short and sweet... PLAY SOME DEFENSE. Allowing a team to shoot 48% in a game and 43% from three isn't going to get you a win.
•Don't let Tyreke remind you of ROY Tyreke
Remember Tyreke Evans? Yeah, that guy. He's been killing it for the Grizzlies so far this year since leaving the Kings this past off-season. He's finally starting to play how the Kings envisioned him playing back in 2009 when they drafted him. He's averaging 19.4 points on 47.1% shooting from the field and 41.4% from three. Don't let him take control.
