The Sacramento Kings played a solid basketball game for a full 48 minutes, something they failed to do in their last game against the Phoenix Suns. The Kings developed a 34-21 lead after the first quarter as well as multiple 20-point leads. Not once did Detroit come back to take the lead as Sacramento won their 21st game of the season. Not having Blake Griffin certainly played a factor but the Kings will take it.
The first quarter went really well for the Kings, but it would be a different story if the Pistons were making their threes.
