For the third game in a row, the Kings went on the road to face one of the top three teams in the Western Conference in a playoff-style atmosphere.
The first two contests resulted in heartbreaking one-bucket losses to the Denver Nuggets and the Golden State Warriors. This time, the Kings came away with a win.
Buddy Hield scored 34 points to lead the Kings to a dramatic 119-116 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday night at Chesapeake Energy Arena. Before reporters were allowed to enter the visitor’s locker room after the game, the players could be heard celebrating the win.
