The Sacramento Kings never seem to make things easy.
That was the case again on Thursday in their 115-112 victory over the San Antonio Spurs.
After leading by as much as 19 points in the third quarter, the Kings did as they so often do; they fell asleep at the wheel. San Antonio grabbed the lead late in the fourth quarter, 103-102, but Sacramento eventually pulled away thanks to many free-throw attempts they got down the stretch.
Harrison Barnes had one of his best games, scoring 27 points on just eight shots. Part of the reason for this absurd efficiency is that Barnes shot 11 of 14 from the free-throw line, tying his career-high in attempts.
