Three things to ponder
1. Thieves, the lot of ’em
All but two Bucks players average at least one steal per 36 minutes. All-Star DeMarcus Cousins, who tops the league with 4.3 turnovers a game, needs to lead the Kings by example and limit loose dribbles and passes into tight windows.
2. Hands up
The ragtag Bucks can stroke it with the best. The club ranks in the NBA’s top third in field goal, 3-point and free throw percentage, and they alertly swing the ball. The Kings must fight through screens and contest looks surrounding the perimeter.
3. Win for Corbin
Barring another snag, George Karl will replace Tyrone Corbin as Kings head coach after the All-Star break. In what’s likely his last game in the role, will the team send Corbin out in style? Or will they play closer to their 7-20 record since he took the job?
