The Run | S2E3 | ‘Connected’ | 2023-24 Sacramento Kings All Access

Mike Brown’s coaching style is exactly what we needed there’s someone that’s going to push everyone to their limit caller everyone now starting with Fox and I and that kind of sets the example Mike was hired I’m like like that’s perfect this is exactly what this team needs and it’s something that we’ve

Never had before Coach Brown is real tells me how it is things are going good things are going bad so I just to be able to have a coach that’s able to tell you that I feel like it’s just a good environment for me he’s building a culture here which we

Established last year and this year we’re going to keep building on he does a really good job of bringing everybody together and making you come together as a team the group has clearly embraced Mike Brown’s identity we talked about last year like him being a defensive coach but he’s leaned into the

Offense because that’s their strengths this year it’s all about how can we get better defensively and the team is totally bought into that one thing offensively that we want to continue to do is play fast that’s who we are that’s our identity on the defense end of the floor if there’s one

Thing we want to focus on is upping our level of physicality and if we do both of those things we’ll display that we’re unit that’s connected This year we want to have a good record to start if we can we know we can play offense we have to figure out how to defend at a high level for as close to 48 minutes as possible so that we’re conditioned come playoff time I just

Feel at some point that’s going to meet come together I don’t know when that is but when it does we’re going to be pretty good dear Fox what will he looks like tonight in his first game in over two weeks Fox back on the sticks that first

Play on the jump ball you know when one that three guys tipped it back in once that happened I’m like oh there’s no way we’re losing nice slot cut by bars the get back andonis punching it home you’re not stopping a guy like Donan Mitchell and

Keegan Adam most of the night I think he’s moving so much better than he did when he first got into the league and I think he could be an outstanding Defender to be able to put him on Donovan Mitchell like you’re talking about or on Steph Curry and him being

Able to work through screens and he’s moving his feet great he’s just so engaged for you though defensively being assigned the best player on the opposing Team every single night how do you attack that and how do you feel about it yeah I mean I love it just a lot of

Figuring out what guys do and their Tendencies and just trying to be the aggress on defense I feel like tonight was kind of night we’re kind of waiting on where we all put it together on the same night I got to take my hat off to our guys they

Tried as best they can to make them work and you couldn’t ask for anything more than what they gave us tonight mik I heard that you got the crown this evening uh it should have gone to Keegan should have gone to Keegan but nobody in the locker room listens to

Me uh Keegan three deflections eight defensive rebounds Donovan Mitchell s for 21 33% but the defensive player of the game [Applause] with we feel blessed lucky fortunate to be around quality people with me being the head coach you know I get the recognition but uh it has a lot to do

With all the people that are around me it’s great that the fours that they’ve been kind of thrown up in those postgame pictures ironically have fit the 400 wins cool moment that it happens to come against the team that he got his first start against I love that you know he

Does not want to take that credit necessarily wants to recognize Keegan but domas and Jordy and them took it into their own hands and it it made for a fun moment actually saw Miguel grabbing the ball I’m like why he grabbing the ball what happened today and we walked back

And they said it was just 400 point so um we want to keep that number going hey good win yo let’s keep this thing going yeah together on three 1 2 three together coming into the season you know I expect Kev you know he’s he’s highly motivated you know I think he’s gonna

Have a great season even when kev’s not making shots they guard him we know he’s one of the best shooters in the NBA he’s a perfect compliment to the stars that we have on this team the Sacramento Kings and Los Angeles Lakers have both won three consecutive contests

One of those teams will extend its winning streak by the end of night Fox scored the first bucket in the last game and got another one and one herder says why not here’s herder a deep three fading away red velvet is back so not only to

See him succeed but to also have him continue to do the things that he did well while he was in that shooting slum I’m talking about rebounds I’m talking about assists I’m talking about playing physical defense this is the best version of Kevin herder we have ever

Seen in his career right now confidence is high playing fast playing within our offense just being aggressive high low herder says I’ll do it myself thought Bas was super aggressive to start the game pulling in the defense and guys got really good looks early on in the game

That’s super important another wire to wire victory for Sacramento they’re fourth straight and they do it behind three nearly 30o performances from three different starters okay we kind of took our our foot off the game ass and Foxy that’s that’s on you that’s on you okay you got

To hand your business you got to keep us here and I thought you floated a little too much in the second quarter as the game went Al so you have to be better so we can all be better hell of a win on the road first of uh uh six games to

Come in here like I said they’re on a three- game winning streak we were on a three game had lost here so feel good about this one go ahead defensive player of the game with five deflections six uh defensive rebounds one verticality and one attempt of [Applause]

Charge we went four- one in that five game set we start another one in our next row game let’s get back let’s keep it going yo together on three 1 two three together The Details Matter for us to go for good the great there’s not a lot of

Room you have to look at the small things and magnify them I got to keep pushing them because they have to feel that every little thing mattersight the Spurs face the Sacramento Kings first game of our Friday night ‘ll header part of the inseason Tournament Spurs with an inspired start 70 shot clock down to three Harrison Barnes catching shoot got it Sacramento is on the board San Antonio on an 112 run looking for more Johnson Keegan still in transition here’s Keegan Murray count it here come the Kings Now by

12 a fox looking to get going looking for that Twan game finds domas they were down by 18 at one point TR McGee count it’s Sacramento has its first lead extra pass that offensive reception by sa fo step [Applause] back with a big our coaches Jordy Fernandez came to

Me and suggested that we don’t have shoo around today as a head coach you got to listen to the people around you so I thought about it I said that’s probably the right thing to do it probably happened is we got punched in the mouth

We still had a lot of energy not just physically but we had our minds were fresh from not Happ to get up and come to shoot around this morning and we found a way as the game went on defense is that’s mind set of the

Second unit our job is to come in and lift the team up our two Allstars stepped up both those guys are huge great great Road win especially starting the way we did that’s the reason Kevin scor that bu be the final 129 to 120 dear and fxs 43 big ones as

He notches his seventh career 40-point game and for the fifth game in a row Sacramento we’re lighting the beam being around him uh last year seeing that he decided to go down this path with his game and then just watch them work with Luke seeing in the

Summertime when he goes on vacation hey Luke you’re coming with me you know I need to continue work out when you have that type of hunger desire however ever you want to call it uh you’re going to have a chance at it and he’s already got the talent the quickness theeng all that

Other stuff now it’s about to work and him stringing it together game after game after game for 48 minutes I truly believe that he can be an MVP of the NBA he is that talented and we’re going to build a winning culture around him his talent is going to remain his

Habits are going to catch up and we’re going to keep winning and I’m telling you every step he takes he’s going to get closer to that I I truly believe he’s going to be the MVP yeah you guess it never second n man and boys is not impressive no one can

Ride with me no one can ride with me standing beside of me standing beside of me it’s inside of me inside of me should never died of Me no should never fox is like flat out playing at a superstar level he is going toe to- Toe

With the best players in the league and beat he’s come out aggressive to start the game set the tone established himself he’s also done a really really good job of knowing this is now the time for me to get my teammates involved he’s averaging 30 6 and A2 assist and close

To five rebounds a game is nothing to be too quiet [Applause] about always been the Besty yes sir shoot Fox put the whole world on notice one thing I would say is we ran that double High Roll action with Fox I don’t know how many times in the second half they run the same action this horns action we were shooting 56% from the

Field in the first half we scored 70 points and so do said coach what about that play that we spent 20 minutes on and you don’t even call it one time I said don’t make you’re 100% right he get me defensively and I’ll call the play

And I don’t know how many time probably called late 20 times at least ohus with the block hey uh first thing I want to acknowledge I want to acknowledge domas he held me accountable today uh you’re right we practiced 45 for about 20 minutes and I didn’t call it at all in

The first half and you came and you said call it and I hope I called enough in the second half for you it’s first all right okay so thank you doas I appreciate that you’re back home you’re getting the Warriors in season turnour with a chance

To lock up the group what do you think the atmosphere is going to be like I think it’s a little fun for everybody from uh Court being different Jersey being different know it’s at stake being able to go to Vegas and and compete for the championship Kings have long been in the

Shadow of their neighbors to the South but tonight they have a chance to knock the Warriors out and advance to The Knockout round of the inseon tournament herder catch and shoot got it got off to a great start here’s Curry now little step back three oh vintage oh

Monk electric Off the Bench now pton takes it right back three on one pton to curry curry the reverse and he’s fouled sabonis takes it away on the run her What A Catch and he finishes in time we always talk about staying ready and I

Felt like we had two guys that came off the bench and were PA for us you know the first one was Keon and then obviously Sasha now Ellis is going to fire a three and it goes the zenov got it it’s the Sasha V zenov game Looney

Block from behind KS have a chance to take the lead here monk drives on it monk hangs and he scores what a basket Malik mon gives the Kings the lead BR ticks curry with the ball puts it up that’s it the Kings [Applause] Win I was just searching for a little space hit him a little in and out he he bit for that gave me the space to get the little floater up for a game Though the kings are 9 and four in their last 13 games and they’ beat a bunch of good teams in that span they beat the Thunder they beat the Cavs they went into LA and beat the Lakers blew them out went into Dallas and blew out the
