Billy King praises Lionel Hollins for pushing individuals to play as a team

In an interview to mark the end of the regular season, Billy King praised Lionel Hollins' coaching to Sarah Kustok, saying the veteran coach had pushed players out of their "comfort zone" and got them to respond, particularly citing his work with Brook Lopez.

In the interview, King repeatedly brought up how the team had to be molded from players who often were more  about individual performance. He didn't cite specifics and he implied there were difficulties and a need for give and take between his coach and his players.
