Win Or Go Home: PAO vs Valencia Game 5 Preview & Keys

PAO vs Valencia Game 5 is here. Win or go home. In this breakdown I lay out exactly what each team needs to do to win a deciding playoff game. For Valencia, it’s about identity. They’ve been playing their style all series and they cannot sway from that now. Get out and run when it’s there, but don’t force it. Reset and run offense if the break dies. On defense, stay attached to shooters and get a body fronting the post. Lessort cannot get any freebies on the block. For PAO, it’s about pace and effort. Control the tempo, get back on defense, and stop the ball in its tracks. When a shot goes up, find a body. If you’re not in the play, get in a passing lane. Play with a sense of urgency every possession. This is what 1000% effort looks like in a deciding Game 5. Drop your prediction in the comments.
