How Steve Nash is beating Mike Budenholzer at his own game
First-year Nets coach Steve Nash is outdueling two-time Coach of the Year Mike Budenholzer by keeping things simple.
As it turns out, the coaching neophyte is getting the better of the grizzled veteran through five games of this Nets-Bucks series. Sure, Steve Nash really only needed to trust Kevin Durant down the stretch of Game 5 to come out on top, but by doing nothing, Nash is already coming out ahead of Mike Budenholzer.
Obviously, Durant was the main attraction in Game 5, but the battle between Nash and Budenholzer is one of the more interesting sub-plots of the series.
