This season, the Sacramento Kings finished atop the Pacific Division for the first time in 20 years. After 16 playoffless years, the Kings took control of the toughest division in the NBA, where all five teams made the playoffs. The Kings are on the rise so this season could be the start of Pacific Division domination.
The Sacramento Kings are trending upwards, while the rest of the division is trending downward. The Los Angeles Lakers star, LeBron James, is contemplating retirement. The Los Angeles Clippers two stars, Paul George and Kawhi Leonard, can not stay healthy.
