It was a tough night for the Sacramento Kings, mostly thanks to Isaiah Hartenstein. He dumped a massive double-double on Sactown, exposing exactly how bad the Kings are at defending the paint. Hartenstein absolutely owned the Kings in their end of the court, and it was hard to watch.
The Kings have been terrible on defense for a long time. That being said, there have been signs of improvement under Doug Christie. He has pushed his team to play with a stronger defensive mindset. That has made a difference as fans can see the improved effort.
