It’s getting repetitive to write this for the third straight time, but the Sacramento Kings just can’t keep leads to win games. After a near-perfect first half by Sacramento, they collapsed immediately into the third quarter and Jamal Murray was scorching hot in the second half. Murray had two points in the first half but 34(!) in the second. The Kings are now 19-19 and while there’s still a long way to go, you may look back at these losses if the Kings miss out of the playoffs again.
Both teams were playing well to start, with Nemanja Bjelica and Nikola Jokic being the standouts.
