Vaught Nails the Boards

Forward Loy Vaught said he has raised his standards.

“It used to be 10 points and 15 rebounds, but now I try to go for 15 boards,” said Vaught, who had averaged 19 rebounds the three games before Friday’s 102-86 loss at Seattle. “I’ve been doing something differently, but it’s a secret.”
