Yeah, part of me understands that when the pace is high, both teams are going to score because there are just more possessions over the course of the game.
However, there is that other part of me that want's the Kings to be more focused on defense. There were times in this game where we were getting outscored by LA's 'scrubs'. About a year ago, I was attributing our string of impressive wins to the fact that our defense had gone from the worst in the league to about a mid to upper-mid tier defense. Malone made the difference in that regard. While we might make the leap to a top 10 offense this year, our ability to make it into the playoffs is going to depend on us keeping other high octane offenses contained in order to secure the win. As a result, I would like to see us show more of a beat-down on lesser teams. Making that team the Lakers would make it even more satisfying.
But too small of a sample size to really take an effective reading. Let's see what happens with LAC tonight.
