Keys to the Game:
•Don't Let One Player Kill You
On Saturday against the Lakers, the Kings let Kentavious Caldwell-Pope absolutely destroy them. You cannot let that continue to happen if you want to win. Make them pass more, tighten up on defense. The Wolves have a bunch of players that can take you out of the game, Wiggins, Towns, Teague just to name a few.
•Keep Up the Flow on Offense
The Kings have been playing very well offensively since returning from the break. Continue to knock down shots and move the ball well, but protect the ball better.
