Mark Jackson has called himself a "flow coach" since he started with the Golden State Warriors this season, imploring that he will ride whatever works no matter how unconventional it seems. Jackson proved so much against his predecessor. Brandon Rush scored 15 of his 20 points in the fourth quarter to spark a late rally, and the Warriors spoiled former coach Keith Smart's return with a 93-90 victory over the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday night.
Brandon Rush scored 15 of his 20 in the 4th, but I was most impressed that he grabbed about 4 tough rebounds in traffic in the 4th, rebounds that the Ws just don't usually grab, especially late in the 4th. Kings are idiots for watching Cousins go off for 12 in the 1st then spend the next 3 quarters having him play high post 18 ft from the basket at the elbow and watching Tyreke jack up 3s (he made a couple.) He had a sweet jump hook push shot where he faked right, faked left, then went back right. He should have scored at least 35.
