Sabonis tries to pull Payton (?) down on the rebound to draw a foul and then grabs Draymond. Both cheat plays, but Dray raises him with the stomp. But that’s where it came from. pic.twitter.com/6op2fWMC0Q – 12:25 AM

That was a tough call on Looney for his 5th, as Sabonis swam under his arm. But Sabonis was the aggressor, and that usually is rewarded in those rebounding scrums. – 11:44 PM

If Sabonis keeps hedging out on Steph pick-and-rolls — and he should — the relocation 3 is open if Steph gets far enough downhill. The moment of indecision where the two Kings decide how to handle Steph giving it up can be exploited. – 10:29 PM
