Early in the game, it felt like the Celtics were out of rhythm defensively. The rotations looked disorganized, and the discipline wasn’t good enough. On the play below, Kristaps Porzingis and Jaylen Brown are both on DeMar DeRozan. This takes away any help at the rim, so they must stay in front of him.
Instead, they both got caught by the guard’s pump fake, and the double team turned into an open layup for the Kings star.
In less than six minutes, the Kings scored more than 20 points. They would end up scoring only 75 in the next 42 minutes.
