Keys to the Game:
•Defense
Up the effort on the defensive side of the ball. Opposing teams have been having field days from the floor shooting, especially from three. Better switching, better communication.
•Shooters Shoot
Get your shooters going early and often. The Kings are usually at the very least competing to the final buzzer when Buddy, Bogi, and Fox have it going offensively.
