Absolutely.
They came in with that double screen action (can't remember what they called it last year, but that doesn't matter because it's probably called something different now with the new staff) that was working at the beginning of the game (hence the early lead) and then the Hawks adjusted, first to force the ball in DFS's hands (which actually wasn't terrible at first) and then again to completely own it.
Kidd had no answer. The rest of the half was "let's throw the ball to KP in the high post and see what happens." Well, we should all know how that story ends by now.
