The Sacramento Kings fell 102-94 in their first contest under interim head coach Alvin Gentry against a short-handed Philadelphia 76ers squad Monday night.
The Kings were led in scoring by De’Aaron Fox’s 23 points and 5 rebounds, followed by Buddy Hield’s 21 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists. Tyrese Haliburton had a goose egg, but cashed in nine dimes and four rebounds on the night, and ended the game with a +9 in the contest.
The Sixers were without the likes of Ben Simmons, Joel Embiid, Seth Curry, Danny Green and Tobias Harris in tonight’s contest, setting the table for the Kings to blow the doors off this one and make a statement.
