Two Games, Mostly Zone

[msf22b]

I only saw the first quarter of yesterday afternoon's contest, but it appears they played zone exclusively.

Is this not the 2nd game that zone was omnipresent...surely something new and an appropriate topic for discussion.

I suspect they are playing zone defense because it tends not to be as physically demanding as man-to-man defense. Why? Samuelson troublesome ankle and foot, Gabby problematic hip flexor - Iliopsoas, Crystal's shin splints, and others at this time of year probably have their own persistent pains.
