Midway through the second quarter of Game 2 against the Golden State Warriors, Sacramento Kings coach Mike Brown huddled his team up. Up 11, his message was clear: Keep. Pushing. These guys can't keep up with us.
Here's the bad news for the Warriors: Brown might be right.
Over their dynastic decade, it has been the Warriors' signature style to outrun opponents, ranking first, fourth and third (twice) in pace in their title-winning seasons.
They've used small-ball lineups, unrelenting speed and constant ball movement to play a style no team has been able to defend -- let alone replicate.
