Basketball wasn’t on the mind of too many in the Kingdom tonight, despite the opening contest of a two-game series in which the Sacramento Kings will host the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Kings fell to the Wolves 134-114 in what felt like an emotionally charged outing from the jump considering all the movement that occurred today.
No lie - the vibrations felt strange without Tyrese Haliburton, Buddy Hield and Tristan Thomposon. In lieu of there physical presence there was a palpable chip on Sacramento’s shoulder, including but not limited to our franchise point guard who made his return.
