No one was anticipating Thursday night’s preseason game between the Los Angeles Clippers and Sacramento Kings to be very exciting. Surprisingly, it turned out to be a pretty fun watch.
The Clippers were down six players, including presumed starters Patrick Beverley, Danilo Gallinari, and Austin Rivers , but still found a way to secure the win. The contest was evenly played through 24 minutes; the teams ended the half tied at 44-44. The Clippers broke the game open at the beginning of the third with a balanced scoring attack, and the Kings never recovered.
