When Bjelica and Bogdanovic were substituted out in the first, they were down 9.
When Fox joined them 51 seconds later, they were down 11.
Cauley Stein then joined them 1:11 later, and they were down 5.
Hield joined them with 2:31 left in the first, and they were down 11.
Hield was the only starter to enter partway through the 2nd, and they were down 22. He played until halftime, and they were down 30.
Well either way, they took the starter is out when the game was pretty close. But they only didn’t put them back because the game was out of hand with the bench. They dropped by eight points with him in there, but no one else was in there so that’s not a true come back attempt.
So while I like the idea of resting your starters when the game is out of hand either by being up by too much or down by too much, I think this was stupid. I’m pretty sure he was trying to rest because of back to back games.
