That was a hilarious sequence there... Cousins was hanging out at half court, but the Magic still couldn't score.

There we go. The Magic played right into the hands of the Cuz/Kosta combo. They relentlessly tried to attack them inside and then on the other end the Kings took advantage on the interior.

When the Kings play to the passing strengths of Cousins they become super dangerous.

I'm a little concerned about Karls recognition lately. Skiles just countered that Cuz/Koufos lineup by putting in Frye and playing zone. We'll see if they can overcome I guess.

Cuz barely got off the ground on that alley oop.

A stop on this defensive possession + a Kings basket right after and that will probably do it.

What an awkward ending.

Interestingly enough, Karl played an 8 man rotation tonight.

The idea was great though. The only bad thing was Omri putting that shot up. Pull the dang thing out and run 24 off the clock.

After that initial burst of full court stupidity early in the game they played a much more under control and ball control oriented game. In the 3rd they ran almost exclusively off of turnovers rather than trying to run full blast after taking the ball out of the basket which has been their downfall this year.

Collison needs to learn to play with Rondo and off that rock

Still a quality win, and hopefully we can end the road trip right!

Had to DVR the game.

We needed this for some cohesion and confidence. Still have a shot at a 3-2 road trip. If we end up 3-2 those earlier games won't mean much.

Its weird that Collison seems to struggle off the ball. He was great next to Paul when he was on the Clippers.

SacKingsZZZ nailed it on the head - need more Cousins in the post. He's spending too many possessions just standing at the arc.

Belinelli has been struggling, and Ben has been struggling. A defender helps off Rondo and shuts down anything they try to do. That was especially evident tonight, but Rondo made them pay by hitting his threes.

Wow, I just noticed that Rondo is shooting 36.4% from three!
