It has been an embarrassing two-and-a-half weeks for the Sacramento Kings. After climbing into playoff positioning when they went on a 7-1 run, the Kings have dropped nine in a row, including a depressing 140-121 loss to the New York Knicks on Thursday.
Sacramento’s defense continues to be simply atrocious. Luke Walton’s squad gives up 126.3 points per game during its 0-9 stretch, by far the most in the league. The frustrating part is that the Kings are ranked 11th in scoring, highlighting how bad things are on their own end of the court.
