Tyrese Haliburton will have to wait until next year to get a birthday win from the Sacramento Kings. After seemingly doing enough to secure their first back-to-back win since Feb. 7, the Kings collapsed in the final minutes of Sunday’s game and lost 127-126.
Things were going the Kings’ way for most of the evening on Sunday. They were making their shots at an efficient clip from just about everywhere on the floor and they were getting solid production from their starters, who all finished the game in double figures. Buddy Hield, who’s been hot and cold from behind the arc this season, led the way for Sacramento with 30 points on 10-17 shooting from the field, including 8-15 from behind the arc.
