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.

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.

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 [...]

Bobcats Take Over In Fourth, Beat Kings 94-89

Perhaps it was their being full of themselves after they beat the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday. Fresh off a win over the Trail Blazers, one would think that the Sacramento Kings would take that momentum into their game Tuesday night against the offensively-deficient but defensively proficient Charlotte Bobcats. Unfortunately for Sacramento, Charlotte held the [...]
