This one is going to hurt. Not only does the loss hurt emotionally—but also as it pertains any Sacramento Kings playoff hopes and for more than just being an ‘L’.
Tonight’s loss drops them to 30-28, which causes them to lose a bit of ground on the eighth place Clippers—that was expected, but it also cost the Kings any chance of owning the tie-breaker over the Los Angeles Lakers as tonight’s loss guarantees them a worse division record.
On the bright side, we got to see yet another phenomenal game from Marvin Bagley III tonight as he keeps showing why he was the draft’s number two overall pick—and making a strong case to be in the starting lineup.
