Rick Carlisle likes keeping either Luka Donu010diu0107 or Kristaps Porzingis on the floor at all times.
Preferably both.
Most coaches would do it that way. It’s always a good idea to keep one or both of your best players on the court at all times.
But that strategy is not etched in stone. And it could be changing during the last quarter of the season, Carlisle said Friday.
It certainly was altered on Wednesday. Before Donu010diu0107 hit his falling, sprawling buzzer beater, Carlisle went a long stretch in the fourth quarter – the first five minutes – without Porzingis or Donu010diu0107 on the floor.
