Posted in For a good chunk of the season, I had described the Oklahoma City Thunder as a good, young team that will get better over time, despite their current win-loss record. They would enter Arco Arena to play the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday night having won 4 of their last 5 games; the game in and of [...]

Three Kings Score 20+ Points, Beat Slumping Nuggets 114-106
Whether the Sacramento Kings brought their A-game to Arco Arena Sunday night as they hosted the Denver Nuggets or the Nuggets simply had a bad game, I suppose is irrelevant at this point. But nonetheless, the Nuggets have lost 6 consecutive road games, dating back to February 18 when they beat the Philadelphia 76ers. Sacramento [...]
Kings Lead From Start To Finish, Sink Clippers 98-86
Depending on your point of view and whether you are a Sacramento Kings fan or simply follow the team, their game Friday night against the Los Angeles Clippers had no meaning, except for the win-loss column. It can be said that the Kings played excellent defense or that the Clippers couldn’t hit the broad side [...]
Kings Late Rally Comes Up Short, Hornets Prevail 112-105
The Sacramento Kings in their game on Monday night against the New Orleans Hornets – despite having 7 new players on their roster – acquitted themselves well; unfortunately for them, Chris Paul had his way against the Kings as he had 12 second half points which trumped a spirited rally by the Kings late on [...]
Mavericks Bench Comes Up Big, Brand Kings 116-95
Typically, the Dallas Mavericks’ bench is at best average offensively; you wouldn’t have known that in Saturday night’s game against the Sacramento Kings as they scored an impressive 54 points, led by Brandon Bass. Long story short, Dallas scored 70 first-half points as they decimated Sacramento 116-95 at American Airlines Center. The Mavericks were hot early [...]
Undermanned Kings Get K-Mart Special, Beat Grizzlies 115-106
Usually a NBA roster has anywhere between 13-15 players, depending on roster moves. The Sacramento Kings, going into Friday night’s game against the Memphis Grizzlies, had only 8 players to suit up. But to be fair, the Kings were major players in trade activity before the NBA trading deadline, so their roster was quite depleted. [...]
Bibby Haunts Old Team, Hawks Defeat Undermanned Kings 105-100
Atlanta Hawks point guard Mike Bibby had a homecoming of sorts as his team came to Arco Arena Wednesday to face an undermanned Sacramento Kings squad that is starting from scratch literally due to a major trade they participated in today. Bibby definitely made the most of the visit as he scored 29 points, leading [...]
K-Mart’s 37 Helps Kings Edge Thunder In OT 122-118
Kevin Martin got two birthday presents during Sunday’s game against the Oklahoma City Thunder; he scored 37 points, but more importantly, he helped Sacramento snap an eight-game losing streak as they nipped Oklahoma City 122-118 at Arco Arena. Both teams were shooting lights out in the first half as the Kings outscored the Thunder 33-31 [...]
