Midway through the third quarter in Monday night’s game against the Memphis Grizzlies, Kings point guard Darren Collison, sprinting up the court in transition, threw a lob pass for center Willie Cauley-Stein, who jumped, caught it near his back shoulder and finished the play with a dunk in the same motion.
Two minutes later, the duo connected again. This time, Cauley-Stein set a screen for Collison near the 3-point line, slipped behind his defender and caught Collison’s lob near the rim, flushing it through with both hands.
“I’m trying to get him to throw it more,” Cauley-Stein said of the lob pass.
