Thornton’s Late Basket Helps Kings Edge Warriors 104-103

  Probably the most interesting part of the game between the Sacramento Kings and Golden State Warriors was the collision between Warriors guard Monta Ellis and Kings forward/center DeMarcus Cousins. During the fourth quarter, Ellis drove towards the basket, only to collide with Cousins. It doesn’t take a collision specialist to know who survived that [...]

Kings Extend Win Streak to Four, Edge Suns 116-113

These days in Sacramento, the major talk isn’t so much about the Kings and how they are enjoying a three-game winning streak prior to their game against the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday night at Power Balance Pavilion. The conversation has been more along the lines of the inevitable move from California’s state capitol to presumably [...]

Bulls Shoot Scorching 61 Percent, Trample Kings 132-92

The Chicago Bulls, despite their best record in a decade, went into Monday night’s game against the Sacramento Kings at the United Center not taking taking the team in purple-and black for granted. That goes back to December 21, 2009 when the Kings rallied from 35 points down to beat the Bulls 102-98. They obviously [...]

Rockets Shoot 53 Percent, Blasts Kings 123-101

The Houston Rockets, prior to their game against the Sacramento Kings Monday night from Power Balance Pavilion, were three games behind the Memphis Grizzlies for the #8 seed in the Western Conference playoff chase. That in and of itself tells you everything there is to know in terms of Houston’s sense of urgency to arrive at [...]

Matthews’ 11 Fourth Quarter Points Help Trail Blazers Skate Past Kings 107-102

Apparently, Portland Trail Blazers coach Nate McMillan was none too pleased with his team’s performance againat the Houston Rockets last Turesday. So what punishment did he dole out? Extra practice? Nope. McMillan instead made his team watch their performance against Houston. If the Trail Blazers’ performance against the Sacramento Kings is any indicator, maybe they [...]

Thornton’s 16 Fourth Quarter Points Guide Kings Past Clippers 105-99

Monday night’s game between the Los Angeles Clippers held some meaning for a couple reasons. Firstly, Blake Griffin, the inevitable Rookie of the Year, made an appearance at Arco Arena. Secondly, and most importantly, the venue sold out, due to the fact that a campaign organized by a group of diehard Kings fans succeeded. That [...]

Grizzlies Shoot 55 Percent, Claw Kings 120-92

As I had alluded to in the game preview between the Sacramento Kings and Memphis Grizzlies earlier today, both teams at one time were very similar in terms of their youth and inexperience. Both teams still share that trait, but the Grizzlies – despite their relative inexperience – have made great strides as they are [...]

Hot Shooting Earns Kings Big Road Win Over Magic 111-105

It is quite apparent that the Sacramento Kings are a struggling team as their 13-41 win-loss record, prior to their game against the Orlando Magic on Wednesday night at Amway Center, would attest to. As I have said before, this is a game in which on paper, the Magic would have a huge advantage over the [...]
