Stepping back from the emotions of this game, I think the Sacramento Kings had a very productive outing. Without DeMarcus Cousins after halftime, the scrappy Kings fought tooth and nail with the Clippers until the very end, even after going down by double digits. Unfortunately, they crumbled late, because of a lot of things. Disappointing, but I can't wait to go back to the film in more detail. Here are some quick observations:
- Rajon Rondo is on a mission. He was the Kings' best player on the court tonight and straight up willed the team into competition.
