Posted in 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 [...]

Nelson’s 12 Fourth Quarter Points Help Magic Rally, Beat Kings 106-102
The Sacramento Kings are one frustrating team to watch. For those of us who follow the Kings (including yours truly), then you know this squad is young, talented, and at the same time unfocused.

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.

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 [...]
West, CP-3 Help Hornets Sting Jazz 100-71
Prior to the New Orleans Hornets game against the Utah Jazz, the Hornets came in at 15-10. But do not let that record fool you. While New Orleans is above .500, they were at one time 11-1, with a 4-9 slump in between. But one thing is for certain: this is a team that will [...]
