In response to SDQ
Definitely agree that the ball movement was better and the overall flow was much improved. Of course, shots were falling at a very high percentage, so that might skew the appearance. Was it good flow that allowed for the higher % or does the high shooting % make the flow appear better? Hill, Kaspar, and Ayers all had decent assist totals, but again, that will happen when guys are making shots.
I will say that I like the way that Kaspar is always looking to make a play, more so than the other PG's. He made some nice skip passes and kick-outs off baseline drives. He doesn't just make the obvious pass. He hit Muscala in the face with a pass that he wasn't ready for (plus, Steven may have had a bit too much speed on the pass).
And while this offensive effort showed obvious improvement, it becomes much more difficult when teams pressure the ball more and have quicker, athletic defenders. If guys cannot get a little separation from their defenders, then the flow comes to a halt.
