The Sacramento Kings have an outside shot at securing a playoff berth this season, when it feels like they shouldn’t have a chance at all. The season had been mostly a disappointment through the first 50 games or so, but Sacramento has turned it on lately, having won 9 of their last 13.
The Kings not only have to play outstanding basketball down the stretch, but they must also rely on the misfortune of some other franchises in order to sneak in to the 8th seed.
At the start of the day on Wednesday, the Memphis Grizzlies were the owners of the final playoff spot.
