What a fun and intense game this was! Two games in a row, the Kings were forced into maintaining narrow leads after teams decided to go on big runs with mere minutes remaining. Two games in a row, the Kings have fought like crazy to win both, overcoming adversity (and refs) to a 10-8 record.
A fantastic start for the Sacramento Kings to open up the first quarter. Nemanja Bjelica and Iman Shumpert started hot, with three threes between them right off the start. Willie Cauley-Stein, who had a great performance last time out against the Utah Jazz, started 3-3 from the field with seven points.
