Don’t confuse Luka Garza’s game as just hustle
At NBA Stats, there’s a tab that registers players’ “hustle” numbers. A lot of it is what you’d expect: deflections, recovered loose balls, and drawn charges. The dirty work.

Joe Mazzulla says Jordan Walsh’s lack of minutes vs. Kings was more about team depth
