There has been a lot of criticism surrounding the process of Bronny's development since his draft selection. In an exclusive interview, he told me how well he feels that process is going and followed it up by dropping 30. My latest for @ClutchPoints

That adjustment by Ham to put Vando on Green, AD on JMG & Austin on Curry was huge. Allowed them to switch any D Green/Steph screen and force them to involve JMG if they want to put AD in the action. Mucked up their offense for us to go on huge scoring bursts.

Favorite "chess match" last night was D'Antoni putting Tucker at the 5, giving Harden more room with Dwight on the perimeter. What does Vogel do? Takes him out for KCP and has LeBron at the 5 now with 4 shooters. Then they spam this ball screen knowing theres no rim protection.
