It takes a high level of mental toughness to make big shots in pressure situations, as Kings guard Bogdan Bogdanovic has shown a knack for doing this season.
But it also requires a lot of mental fortitude to trudge through the final stages of a losing NBA season, as the Kings are doing. That's especially true for Bogdanovic, who became accustomed to winning teams in Europe before joining the Kings this season.
Still, in the midst of a bad shooting night, Bogdanovic found the resolve to hit a game-winner with 1.1. seconds to play and make a game-saving defensive play in the Kings' 94-93 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies Friday night at FedExForum.
