Is Trae passing the ball more to Collins and less to Hunter, so this could emply he does not want to part ways with John?

Just playing with what the defense gives.
Teams have been playing a smaller guy on Collins and we are punishing them in the post/midpost. Check out the video of J shot attempt tonight.

Exactly! I hope they keep this 4th quarter as a reference.
Okongwu seems to developp a good game with Bogi too. That fake shot to pass the ball to Okongwu going to the rim was beautiful.
What I saw in the 4th was also that they manage to get Davis out of the paint to feed easily Okongwu. Good call Nate!
I was fearing that Monk would score a lot, and it happened, but they manage to let it have not so much impact.

That was perfect in this context. The thing I would like to see on some different matchups for John when he's out of the paint is more possibilities to pass the ball out.
There's one action where Hunter is staying in the corner while John, if stopped, can't pass him the ball. Hunter has to get out of there and not stay behind the defender.
It's some details like these that can make them win a close game, or win it earlier.

Thank you. I did not think about watching the video.
