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 [...]

Wallace-less Bobcats Take Over In Fourth, Claw Kings 110-98

An interesting occurrence took place at Time Warner Cable Arena in Charlotte, N.C. during the introductions during the game between the Sacramento Kings and Charlotte Bobcats. The public address announcer made no mention of former Bobcats player Gerald Wallace; Wallace was the last of the original member of the seven-year-old franchise. Nevertheless, there was a game [...]

Rookies Rally To Beat Sophomores 148-140, Wall Grabs MVP Award

Anyone who follows the happenings during the NBA All-Star Weekend knows that the games between both the Rookies and Sophomores plus the NBA All-Star Game are lighthearted, by nature. In other words, playground hoops, but with NBA rules attached. The 2011 T-Mobile Rookie Challenge was certainly no different in that regard. The game, as was [...]

Huge 3rd Quarter Run Helps Mavericks Crush Kings 116-100

The Sacramento Kings, without a doubt, miss Tyreke Evans not being in their lineup as he tries to recover from a foot injury. As it were, Jermaine Taylor took Evans’ place at the point guard position and didn’t embarrass himself during his nearly 39  minutes on the hardwood, scoring 17 points as the Kings took [...]

Kings End Five-Game Losing Skid, Hold Off Suns 113-108

The Sacramento Kings, like a lot of young teams, are going through growing pains. By growing pains, along with learning to develop chemistry, there are the occasional bouts of immaturity. A bout of immaturity took place after the Kings’ loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder Saturday night when DeMarcus Cousins got into an altercation with Donte Greene. [...]

Kings Get Back To Back Victories, And Big Morale Boost Win Win Over Hornets

I never dreamed of this weekend. A weekend where the Kings beat the World Champion Lakers and the Hornets in back to back nights. In fact this is only the second time the Kings have won back to back games all year. The last time they accomplished this was Oct 30th and Nov 1 when they [...]

Kings Shock Lakers At Staples 100-95

When the Sacramento Kings and Los Angeles Lakers get together at both Arco Arena and Staples Center, the Kings usually come up at the short end of the stick. Then an unusual occurrence took place at 1111 S. Figueroa Street. DeMarcus Cousins and Omri Casspi combined for 47 points and the Kings shot 51 percent from the [...]

Warriors Win 4th Straight, Topple Kings 119-112 In OT

The Golden State Warriors, other than getting the prerequisite media coverage, have for the most part flown under the radar. And that is rather interesting considering that they were on a timely, three-game winning streak prior to hosting the Sacramento Kings at Oracle Arena Friday night. For 48 minutes, both teams battled, with the end [...]
