Klay Thompson calls for improved Heat defense

Miami Heat guard Klay Thompson said the team needs to improve its defense and ball movement ahead of its game against the Sacramento Kings.

Thompson expects a better defensive effort and believes both the starters and reserves can improve.

“We’re gonna have a great effort tomorrow on that end of the floor… I’m sure we can greatly improve our defensive rating, and so can the second unit.

“Offensively, just trust the pass a little more. Especially that extra pass that might go from a good to a great shot.

“Tomorrow is a great opportunity to show and apply that.”
