Fox Drops 38 In Kings Playoff Debut Holding Off Curry, Warriors | Kawhi, Westbrook Lead Clippers Over Suns | Reaves & Hachimura Show Up Big In Lakers Game 1 Win Vs. Grizzlies

Jackson Gatlin (@JTGatlin) talks is joined by Matt George (@Locked On Kings) to discuss the Sacramento Kings big Game 1 win against the Golden State Warriors behind 38 points, including 15 in the fourth quarter, from De'Aaron Fox in his playoff debut. How did Fox handle himself in his first-ever playoff appearance? What needs to happen for Domantas Sabonis to be more effective moving forward in the series? Who is the X factor of the series? What adjustments are expected ahead of Game 2?

Then Darian Vaziri (@Locked On Clippers) stops by to break down how the LA Clippers were able to hold on for the Game 1 win in Phoenix against Kevin Durant and Suns, led by Kawhi Leonard with 38 points and some late-game heroics by Russell Westbrook to put this one away. How did Kawhi handle the defense Phoenix was throwing at him? How did Westbrook make a significant impact despite not shooting well? Why was the Clippers bench able to outplay the Suns bench unit? What's a key adjustment expected ahead of Game 2?

Lastly, Brian Kamenetzky (@Locked On Lakers) swings by to talk about the Los Angeles Lakers handling the Memphis Grizzlies in Game 1 of their series with a dominant defensive showing from Anthony Davis, 29 points off the bench from Rui Hachimure and nine straight points in crunch time by Austin Reaves. Have we ever seen LeBron take a back seat in a playoff game like this before? What do those closing minutes say about LeBron's trust in Reaves and the rest of the roster? How important was Davis' impact on the defensive side of the ball? Why was Hachimura so effective in this game, especially the second half?
