Kings' coach Brian Goorjian insists there was "no intent" to deliberately target Bryce Cotton physically in their 44-point demolition of the Adelaide 36ers in the opening NBL championship series game in Sydney.
Cotton, who last month collected his sixth league MVP after leading the competition in scoring for the ninth time, was held to just 10 points on 4-of-12 shooting as Sydney stormed to a 112-68 win, the largest margin of victory in grand-final history, to take a 1-0 series lead.
