Kings vs Warriors 2024 Play-in Game 1 - Kings end the Warriors dynasty
April 18, 2024 05:07 - 1 hour - 66.6 MBIt may have just been one game, but the Kings may have just ended the Warriors as we know it. They dominated the Warriors in the G1C in the 9/10 Play-in game on Tuesday night, ending their season, avenging the loss in Game 7 from last year, and possibly ended the Warriors dynasty as we know it. It was a dominant defense performance by the Kings, who absolutely crushed the Warriors with their defensive pressure all night. Add to that they shot 46% from 3, they simply overwhelmed the Warriors...
Kings vs Warriors 2024 West 9/10 Play In game - Kings end the Warriors dynasty

They dominated the Warriors in the G1C in the 9/10 Play-in game on Tuesday night, ending their season, avenging the loss in Game 7 from last year, and possibly ended the Warriors dynasty as we know it.

Kings vs Blazers 4/14/24 - Kings crush shorthanded Blazers to close the regular season, become 9th seed and will play Warriors in the Play-In
April 15, 2024 02:24 - 18 minutes - 16.9 MBThe roller coaster that has been this Kings regular season comes to an end, as the Kings absolutely crush the Blazers to close the season. The Blazers didn't have many of their regular rotation players so it only made sense that the Kings absolutely dominate this game. And they did. After the chaos of all the games played around the NBA settled, the Kings are now set to play the Golden State Warriors in the 9/10 Play-In game on Tuesday. Not the most ideal situation, but it's the position t...
Kings vs Pelicans and Suns 4/12/24 - Kings lose another 2 huge games in devastating fashion, AEW shows the CM Punk All In fight
April 13, 2024 05:57 - 1 hour - 61.8 MBThe Kings can't buy a beam. It's been rough for the Kings as they have lost 5 out of their last 6 and now, their last 3 in a row, with the last 2 being the most devastating. First it was New Orleans, who sweep the season series with the Kings 5-0, something that hasn't done in 20 years. New Orleans was simply the better team, they were bigger, stronger and were the more talented team. The Kings fought valiantly, but the Pelicans proved that they are simply a better team than the Kings. Th...
Kings vs Thunder 4/9/24 - Kings offense lets them down in big game against the Thunder, Fong returns and reviews Wrestlemania 40
April 10, 2024 04:16 - 55 minutes - 51.4 MBAnother game where the Kings go up big against a tough team early, and another game whether they gas out on offense in the 2nd half and lose a big game against a tough opponent. The Kings shot a total of 58 threes and made 20 of them, a very good number, but they were only able to make 13 shots inside the arc. This is going to be a problem for the Kings going forward, without Malik they lack the amount of creators that can actually get into the paint consistently. So this is the reality tha...
Kings vs Nets 4/7/24 - Kings handle business in Brooklyn, Wrestlemania 40 quick thoughts
April 08, 2024 04:56 - 36 minutes - 33.6 MBAfter 2 consecutive Beamless nights (shoutout Deuce and Mo), the Kings get back in the win column by blowing out the Nets in Brooklyn. It wasn't the prettiest by any means, but the Kings did a good job of limiting Brooklyn with their defense and holding them to only 77 points. With the playoff race in the West so tight, with seeds 5-9 being separated by only 3.5 games with only a handful of games left, it's still anyone's spot to take. The Kings hope to keep pace in the race by taking on ...
Kings vs Knicks and Celtics 4/5/24 - Kings miss 2 golden opportunities, put themselves in huge hole
April 06, 2024 04:13 - 46 minutes - 43 MBThe Kings have now put themselves in a huge hole. They get blown out in New York in deflating fashion by losing a 21 point lead, and come up short on a miraculous comeback in Boston. By losing these 2 games, they are in danger of possibly dropping to the 9 seed before the season is over. One saving grace however is that the 6th seed isn't out of reach. But it's going to be tough and the Kings will really need to pull a rabbit out of their hat. Another saving grace is that in both losses,...
Kings vs Clippers 4/2/24 - Kings dominate the Clippers with their defense, Ariel Helwani interviews CM Punk
April 03, 2024 05:38 - 49 minutes - 45.8 MBAnother day, another game where the Kings win by dominating on the defensive end. After going back and forth in a close game midway through the 3rd quarter, the Kings turned up the dial on defense and completely shut the water off on the Clipper offense. That plus the offensive rebounding party the Kings were putting on, what was a 4 point game about 4 minutes into the 3rd was now a 21 point game in favor of the Kings. It's another game where the Kings demonstrated once again their new defe...
Kings vs Jazz 3/31/24 - Kings bounce back with win over Jazz, Malik's injury, Trey and Sasha return
April 01, 2024 04:45 - 35 minutes - 32.5 MBThe Kings get a much needed win after the twin losses to the Mavs earlier in the week. The win was also needed as it comes on the heels of the news that Malik Monk will be out for 4-6 weeks with an MCL sprain in his right knee. So getting this win against a depleted Jazz team was not only needed for the Kings in the standings, but also for much needed positive vibes after a rough week. While this game was sketchy for the 1st half, where the Kings couldn't build a substantial lead on the Jaz...
Kings vs Mavs 3/29/24 - Kings lose huge game against the Mavericks at home
March 30, 2024 05:38 - 28 minutes - 26 MBThe Kings definitely took the Tuesday loss to the Mavs to heart. And they channeled that energy and came out absolute gangbusters. They played with incredible energy and intensity throughout the game and the Mavs seemed to be rattled for 3 quarters, unable to match the King's speed and physicality. But then the 4th quarter started, the Mavs turned it up on offense, particularly their 2 stars, Luka and Kyrie. They hit shot after shot and a 10 point lead was tied in a blink of an eye. The Kin...
Kings vs 76ers and Mavs 3/26/24 - Kings split big back to back games at home
March 27, 2024 04:55 - 46 minutes - 43.3 MBThe Kings returned home after their east coast trip and split a pair of huge games. First, they were able to dismantle the shorthanded Sixers by limiting Tyrese Maxey and letting that trickle to the rest of the Sixers not being able to get easy shots. It was another impressive showing on defense for the Kings and it allowed Kings fans to breathe a sigh of relief as it's usually these kinds of game where a shorthanded and lesser team that give the Kings the biggest issues. Unfortunately, on...
Kings vs Magic 3/23/24 - Kings get impressive bounce back win against Magic
March 24, 2024 07:17 - 34 minutes - 31.5 MBAfter the stinker in Washington, the Kings bounce back against a very good Orlando Magic team sitting in the upper tier of the Eastern Conference. The Kings played their game, they played at a frenetic pace all game and got up and down the court. Mixed in with some really good defense throughout the night, the Kings threw the Magic for a loop. The Kings now end their 3 game road trip 2-1, and they head back to the G1C to face the 76ers on Monday and the Mavericks on Tuesday in a huge bac...
Kings vs Raptors and Wizards 3/21/24 - Kings split a weird back to back on the road
March 22, 2024 03:33 - 41 minutes - 38.5 MBFresh off surviving the Grizzly bear attack in the G1C, the Kings headed across the border to the North to play the Raptors in Toronto. And ... they took care of business and demolished the skeleton crew Raptors. The Kings were simply too big and too talented for this Raps team to handle and they got the easy win with some extra rest for the starters. The next night however, was a different story. Just when it looked like the Kings had figured things out and took a huge step forward, they t...
Kings vs Grizzlies 3/18/24 - Kings don't beat Grizzlies, they survived the Grizzlies; Amin El Hassan on Sactown Sports 1140
March 19, 2024 06:01 - 39 minutes - 36.5 MBIt was a disgusting game, and a gross win. The Kings did everything in the book to try and lose this game, and it was a miracle they actually managed to pull it out. We all hoped the Kings had turned a corner after the impressive back to back win against the Bucks and Lakers. And even though they lost to the Knicks, the Kings held tough and matched the Knicks physicality. But then there's a stinker like this where the Kings just about lose to a team missing over half of its roster and had n...
Kings vs Knicks 3/16/24 - Kings fall short to the Knicks in an old school rock fight
March 17, 2024 05:55 - 27 minutes - 25.7 MBDo you like physical basketball? Are you tired of foul calls every other possession? Are you tired of the ridiculously high scoring games of today's NBA? Well then the Kings vs Knicks in the G1C on Saturday night was for you! This game was as old school and physical as a game could get. Insane amounts of contact, very few whistles, just letting the players play and may the tougher team win. Judging from the result of the game, you may say the Kings got punked but that was not the case. The ...
Kings vs Bucks and Lakers 3/13/24 - Kings pull off impressive back to back wins against 2 tough opponents
March 14, 2024 05:46 - 51 minutes - 47.4 MBAfter a confounding loss to the Rockets last Sunday, the Kings continue to confuse their fans by pulling off 2 equally confounding wins in back to back nights. The Kings, against the Bucks and the Lakers, played inspired defense and held their opponents to subpar performances on the offensive end. Their own offense as well, seems to have discovered new life as well and as a result, they've had 2 very impressive wins against 2 very tough opponents. Turns out, when you make shots and make yo...
Kings vs Rockets 3/10/24 - Kings go 0-3 against the Rockets
March 11, 2024 05:09 - 40 minutes - 37.2 MBWell, the Kings keep doing this to us. We thought they conquered their below .500 demons with the improbable win against the Spurs 3 days ago. But alas, they lose another weird one at home to the under .500 Rockets. The game was a tale of 2 halves, in the 1st half the Kings forced the Rockets to play their style of basketball, which involves a lot playing fast and in transition. In the 2nd half, the Rockets slowed the game down and turned it into a grind it out physical game. The Kings were...
Kings vs Lakers and Spurs 3/7/24 - Kings dominate Lakers and pull miracle off on Spurs
March 08, 2024 06:37 - 53 minutes - 49.6 MBIt started out horribly for the Kings in LA, they went down 21 early and look absolutely hopeless. And then, the Kings completely turned it around. By halftime, what was a 21 point deficit for the Kings turned into a 15 point lead as the Kings completely flipped the script on the shell shocked Lakers. The Kings would control the game from then on and they get the much needed win over the Lakers who were hot on their tails in the standings. Well the Kings got a great win over a formidable op...
Kings vs Bulls 3/4/24 - Kings continue to be inconsistent by blowing game to Bulls
March 05, 2024 06:43 - 35 minutes - 32.9 MBThe Kings had a great weekend, they had the tough win against the Wolves on the road, and teams around them in the standing all took Ls while the Kings had 2 days off. All the Kings had to do was to finish the job and beat the Bulls to create some separation between the teams around them. Well ... about that ... The Kings just don't want to make things easy on themselves, they lose to the Bulls at home after leading by 14 in the 1st half and 22 in the 2nd half. It was a comedy of errors wi...
Kings vs Timberwolves 3/1/24 - Kings show grit in win against Wolves
March 02, 2024 05:32 - 42 minutes - 39.3 MBOff the heels of getting pummeled by the Nuggets 2 days ago, the Kings get a little bit of retribution by beating the #1 seed in the West. A feat even more impressive because they were once again without De'Aaron Fox. Now it has to be mentioned that the Wolves were without the services of their best player Anthony Edwards for the 2nd half. Nevertheless, it's an impressive win by the Kings who fought through missed 3s, free throws, and Sabonis fouling out in overtime to snag the win on th...
Kings vs Nuggets 2/28/24 - Kings get pummeled in Denver without Fox
February 29, 2024 05:29 - 32 minutes - 30.5 MBThe Kings had a chance to go 4-0 against the defending champs tonight, but it was not to be. It started out well with the Kings who got a 15 point lead with 8:00 to go in the 2nd quarter and looked to have all the momentum despite not having their star point guard. Then the Nugget decided to turn on Uber mode. They proceed to pummel the Kings on the inside with Aaron Gordon and Nikola Jokic and the rest of the team follow suit to go on a 33-8 run to end the 1st half and that was the game. ...
Kings vs Clippers and Heat 2/26/24 - Kings pull off impressive win over Clippers, then fall short against shorthanded Heat
February 27, 2024 07:03 - 51 minutes - 47.8 MBMike Brown had been preaching the need to be a good defensive team all season. To say the Kings have been hit or miss when it comes to executing that plan would be an understatement. But against the Clippers on Sunday night in LA, the Kings pulled off their best defensive performance of the season. De'Aaron Fox brought the intensity on that end from the start and the rest of the team followed suit, they flew around the court getting deflections, stops and run outs to win against the Clipper...
Kings vs Spurs 2/22/24 - Kings pick up first win after All-Star Break over Spurs
February 23, 2024 06:25 - 35 minutes - 32.4 MBIt wasn't easy, but after making their fans sweat they were able to pull out the game against the Spurs. The Kings looked refreshed coming out of All-Star Break and guys looked like they had a little more pep in their step on offense. But the defense was their achilles heel all night as they couldn't stop the Spurs from inside or outside the arc. They finally turned up their defense in the final possessions to pull the game out but it's going to be something they need to fix as they will be...
Kings post All-Star game vibes check, a fun quiz, All Star 2024 was wack and the return of Hollywood Rock
February 20, 2024 06:21 - 1 hour - 72.6 MBThe Kings have the same record as last season at the All-Star Break yet the perception of the team is very different. Owen and Fong decided to do a deep dive into some stats and find whether this team is actually better or worse than last year or exactly the same. They then mix it up with a quiz centered around the Kings. Afterwards, they review the actual All-Star Weekend and all its festivities. And they end the episode talking about the return of Hollywood Rock on Smackdown this past wee...
Kings vs Suns and Nuggets 2/14/24 - Kings lose a tough one in Phoenix, win an ugly one in Denver
February 15, 2024 07:01 - 59 minutes - 54.8 MBAll Star Break is upon us! But before the Kings could partake (Or not) they had a tough back to back on the road to go through. The first game was against the Suns in Phoenix, where it was a ballad of shot-making brilliance by both teams. The Kings would ultimately lose due to untimely mistakes and maybe some questionable officiating. But the Kings showed a lot of heart and fight in the game and it seemed like a step in the right direction to get some momentum before All Star Break. That ...
Kings vs Thunder 2/11/24 - Kings come out flat in OKC, 49ers lose Superbowl LVIII in a heartbreaker
February 13, 2024 05:49 - 46 minutes - 42.8 MB(I accidently called this episode 382, I meant to say 383) The philosophy of winning a basketball game is simple, you make shots and force the other team to miss shots, you will likely win the game. The Kings last year were really good at making shots but not great at making the other team miss. This years team has tried to focus more on making the other team miss and taken a step back when it comes to making shots. The result unfortunately a lot of the time this year with this approach is...
Kings vs Nuggets 2/9/24 - Kings redeem themselves by blowing out shorthanded Nuggets
February 10, 2024 07:30 - 1 hour - 68.5 MBThe Kings get a palate cleanser game after losing to the Pistons on Wednesday with a dominant victory over a shorthanded Nuggets team on the 2nd night of a back to back. The Kings were just … better than they were last game, they hit more shots and played terrific defense for stretches. And by doing that, they went from losing against the worst teams in NBA history to beating the defending champs. Sometimes basketball is just a simple game. The trade deadline came and went with the Kings ...
Kings vs Pistons 2/7/24 - Kings get smacked by the Pistons at home
February 08, 2024 06:07 - 22 minutes - 20.9 MBIt was the trappiest game that has ever trapped. And as the day went on it only got even trappier. The Pistons, who had won only 6 games all season, traded away 2 rotation players and were going to be playing without Cade Cunningham and Bojan Bogdonavic. Logic would dictate that a good Kings team would wipe the floor with this team right? Well, lemme introduce you to the Sacramento Kings as they lose in embarrassing fashion to the aforementioned depleted Detroit Pistons at home. The most s...
Kings vs Cavs 2/5/24 - Cavs get revenge on the Kings
February 06, 2024 05:51 - 34 minutes - 32.4 MBCavs get the Kings back for their loss against the Kings earlier this season where they couldn’t miss in G1C. Instead, the script flipped and this time the Cavs couldn’t miss from 3. And that was what the game boiled down to, the Cav were lights out from 3, and the Kings couldn't keep up. The Kings in all honestly didn’t play bad, but on this night they needed something special in order to match what the Cavs were giving. In wrestling news, The Rock's return has been met with a lot of back...
Kings vs Pacers and Bulls 2/3/24 - Kings pull off impressive back to back wins on the road
February 04, 2024 05:38 - 1 hour - 60.6 MBKings started their back to back in Indiana and get an impressive win by taking advantage of a shorthanded Pacers team on the 2nd night of a back to back, and might I say, imposed their will on them. They played the Pacers really well on defense, where they were active and constantly creating TOs which led to plenty of transition offense which was pretty much the difference in the game. A good bounce back game for the Kings after a rough showing in Miami and in addition, they avenge their ...
Kings vs Heat 1/31/24 - Kings shoot bricks in Miami, end 2 streaks in 1 night, CM Punk injured and out of Wrestlemania
February 01, 2024 04:45 - 29 minutes - 27.7 MBIt was always a trap game. Heat came into this game having lost their last 7 games were going to be motivated to break out of their slump against a Kings team that is always very sus in these kinds of games. Well the result was what a lot of us feared, but the reason is a bit more complicated than what meets the eye. The Kings played the Heat very tough for about 2 and a half quarters, but in the 3rd quarter the Heat went into their infamous zone, and the Kings really struggled against it....
Kings vs Grizzlies 1/29/24 - Kings survive against the skeleton crew Grizzlies in Memphis
January 30, 2024 06:38 - 1 hour - 61.6 MBIt was tight one, and it never should have been. Had the Kings lost this one, we would’ve had another worst loss of the year contender. The Kings played a skeleton crew of not the Memphis Grizzlies, but the skeleton crew of the Memphis Hustle, their G-League Affiliate. This team, with a bunch of G-Leaguers and Jaren Jackson, played the Kings almost dead even and got dangerously close to beating the Kings. How? Well, the Kings played like absolute garbage. And it wasn’t just regular garbage...
Kings vs Mavs 1/27/24 - Kings handle shorthanded Mavs, Warriors and Laker madness, 2024 Royal Rumble Review
January 28, 2024 06:45 - 42 minutes - 39.4 MBThe Kings had a tough task ahead of them, they had to contain Luka Doncic after he scored 73 points against the Hawks the night before. Would the Kings defense be able to contain Luka or is he going to feast like he has against so many other teams? Well, the good news for the Kings is that it was the former, they made it very difficult on Luka to get off any easy looks and made his teammates make plays, which wasn't pretty a lot of the time. The Kings also sliced up the Mavs defense all nig...
Kings vs Warriors 1/25/24 - Kings and Warriors have another thriller of a game
January 26, 2024 08:05 - 1 hour - 60.2 MBThe Kings and Warriors just cannot a boring game. Pretty much every game they've played these past 2 season have been thrillers, and this one was no different. It was an offensive focused game, both teams ran beautiful offense and displayed remarkable shot making. Both defense did what they could to limit the other's offense but most of the efforts were futile. On the King's side, Harrison Barnes once again did most of the heavy lifting, following up his 32 point performance against the Haw...
Kings vs Hawks 1/22/24 - Harrison Barnes gets the Kings back in the win column
January 23, 2024 07:48 - 1 hour - 65.6 MBIt has been 10 days since the Kings have won a game, but it has felt like years. And it wasn't easy, the Kings held the Hawks to 24% FG in the first half, but they heated up in the 2nd half with multiple barrages to make the game competitive. But the Kings answered each run from the Hawks with one of their own, and held strong with their good defense to eventually win going away. Harrison Barnes was the standout for the Kings, scoring 32 points in a game no other King scored more than 14 to...
Kings vs Pacers 1/18/24 - Kings free throw and defensive woes cost them against the Pacers
January 19, 2024 06:46 - 38 minutes - 35.3 MBThe Pacers came into G1C without Haliburton, Nesmith, Nembhard and the newly acquired Pascal Siakam and still found a way to torch the Kings. The Kings defense was bad all night, they let the Pacer destroy them in the paint and their rotations to the perimeter were way too slow. Even then, they battled down 16 with 2:20 to go and somehow were only trailing by 3 with 32 seconds to go. They get a stop and after some chaos, Malik Monk is fouled for 2 free throws, which he subsequently misses b...
Kings vs Suns 1/16/24 - Kings have the one of the worst meltdown in history against the Suns
January 17, 2024 05:44 - 39 minutes - 36.2 MBComing off a heartbreaking loss against Milwaukee, we were expecting the Kings to come out strong to wash away that memory. And come out strong they did, their offense was running on all cylinders, their defense had the Suns all out of sorts, and they completely controlled the game for 42 minutes. But then the last 6 minutes happened, up 22 with 8:22 to go, the Kings got a little too cute and played loose with the ball, they stopped running what had been working with them all game and resor...
Kings vs Bucks 1/14/24 - Kings fall to Dame time in Milwaukee, Pistons and Wizards make a trade
January 15, 2024 05:12 - 36 minutes - 33.3 MBAfter a stinker in Philly where the Kings couldn't hit a shot, the Kings came out in Milwaukee guns blazing against the Bucks. The problem was the Bucks were also red hot shooting the ball and the Kings found themselves down by 10 in the 4th quarter. The Kings would continue fighting however and force OT. In OT they went up 6 early and were up 4 with less than 20 seconds to go and the Bucks had to foul. Malik would miss his 2 FTs, Brook hits a 3 on the other end. Fox would then get fouled, ...
Kings vs Bucks 1/14/24 - Kings fall to Dame time in Milwaukee

Kings vs Sixers 1/12/24 - Kings can't make shots against shorthanded Sixers
January 13, 2024 06:35 - 36 minutes - 33.3 MBThe Kings just couldn't find the net on this night. They lose to a shorthanded Sixers missing Joel Embiid, Kelly Oubre and Robert Covington. It's another deflating loss for the Kings, but perhaps not as dire as it seems. The Kings overall process was very solid on the offense end. They got open 3s all night but shot only 8-39 on them, it's tough to win when you can't knock down shots even though you actually run good offense. Hopefully tonight was just a really bad off night and not part o...
Kings vs Pistons and Hornets 1/10/24 - Kings win their first set of back to back games
January 11, 2024 06:45 - 1 hour - 75.7 MBThe Kings made their fans sweat, they gave up 47 points to the worst team in the league in the first quarter. They looked like they did in a lot of their losses, slow, lethargic and just unfocused. But lucky for the Kings, they are playing the Pistons, who proceeded to go cold and basically gave a red carpet down into the paint for the Kings. The Kings would take the lead going into halftime and they would never relinquish it. It wasn’t pretty, at all, but the Kings did what they needed to ...
Kings vs Pelicans 1/7/24 - Pelicans prove again that they own the Kings
January 08, 2024 05:17 - 31 minutes - 28.9 MBWell, just when we thought there won't be another horrible loss for the Kings this season, they seem to top the latest one with an even more horrible one. This time, the Kings lose by 33 on a Sunday afternoon to the New Orleans Pelicans. And don't let that score fool you, it was much worse than 33. The Pelicans are a bad match up for the Kings as they have long, athletic and mobile wings that put insane pressure on the Kings and make it hard for them to make any kind of shot. However, the ...
Kings vs Raptors 1/5/24 - Kings overcome trade rumors to outlast the Raptors
January 06, 2024 07:12 - 46 minutes - 43.4 MBIt was chaotic day for the Kings on social media. According to Jake Fischer earlier in the day, Kevin Huerter, Harrison Barnes and Davion Mitchell have been brought up in trade talks. And then later in the day, Shams Charania comes out and breaks the news that the Kings are in serious discussions with the Raptors on Siakam. And then about 50 minutes before the game between the 2 teams, Shams reports that Kings had pull out of trade talks ... So yea, chaotic. And oh yea, there was a game bet...
Kings vs Hornets and Magic 1/3/24 - Kings make up for confounding loss against Hornets with a gutsy win against the Magic
January 04, 2024 07:18 - 1 hour - 56.5 MBThe Kings have not been good on back to backs. But this was an opportunity for the Kings to buck that trend by beating 2 depleted teams both of whom were coming into the G1C on 2nd nights of back to backs. They unfortunately, began by crapping the bed by losing to the Hornets who flew in from Denver the night before and with 4 of their starters out injured. The Kings were simply off on offense all night and blew the game in crunch time with a series of just terrible plays. It was most likel...
Kings vs Grizzlies 12/31/23 - Kings dominate the Grizzlies in Memphis to end 2023
January 01, 2024 06:06 - 58 minutes - 54.2 MBThe Kings go into Memphis and just take the Grizzlies lunch money. The Kings put on a clinic on the offensive end, moving the ball around for open 3s and slicing the Grizzlies in the paint. But more importantly, they shut down the Memphis offense who couldn't get anything going on the inside or outside the arc. This game was a preview of what the Kings can be at their best, and it's a great game to close out 2023 and build momentum going 2024. Use code SKT15 on checkout to get 15% off from...
Kings vs Hawks 12/29/23 - Kings pull off impressive comeback in the A
December 30, 2023 06:13 - 37 minutes - 34.5 MBIt's started out really ugly again, it looked like the Kings were still suffering the effects of losing to the Blazers. Their defense was again putting up little to no resistance, they were missing shots from 3, and the Hawks jumped to a 31-8 lead. It looked like it was going to be a long night ...
