While his teammates in Golden State’s classic lineup were painting pretty scoring statistics in a 123-116 victory in Game 5, Kevon Looney was rolling up his sleeves and burying himself in the manual labor required to get them there.
Looney through five games has a 72-58 rebounding edge on Kings center Domantas Sabonis, who in a pregame ceremony received an award for . . . leading the NBA in rebounds this season.
“For this series, I really want to try to set the tone and try to get every rebound, be greedy in that way. It helps our team.” And yet, Looney in this series has been more than a rebounder. He has more assists, 25-22, than Sabonis, who was second among NBA centers, behind Denver’s Nikola Jokic, in that category.
