MEMPHIS -- Two teams coming off impressive wins to continue surprisingly strong starts go head-to-head Friday night when the Sacramento Kings visit the Memphis Grizzlies.
The clubs met earlier this season in Sacramento, with the Kings (8-6) using a 21-10 advantage in free-throw points to seize a 97-92 win.
The Kings are coming off a four-game homestand that featured wins over Minnesota and San Antonio. The latter was driven by 19 points from De'Aaron Fox in a 104-99 victory.
After 12 consecutive years of missing the playoffs, which has allowed the franchise continually to make high draft picks, Kings players are starting to believe they've finally put a winning combination together.
