The Kings got their lunch money taken from them for 48 straight minutes in their 128-101 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday night.
After a thrilling triple-overtime win over the Lakers, the Kings came out emotionally and physically hungover and were just outworked all game by their opponent. Given the propensity of this team to have let down performances like this in the past, it’s hard to be surprised at this outcome.
Sacramento’s defense was downright disgusting all game, allowing a whopping 76 points to the Grizzlies in the first half. Guys missed rotations, got lost on screens, and generally just didn’t work all that hard on the night.
