The Sacramento Kings were riding high on a three-game winning streak going into Friday night and even with a heartbreaking loss to the Charlotte Hornets, they’re are a solid 5-4 since Alvin Gentry took over for Luke Walton. The three-game winning streak coincided with a pretty notable rotational change that Gentry made: elevating the minutes of Terence Davis and decreasing the minutes of Buddy Hield.
It’s pretty easy to see this is as a one-for-one switch that Gentry decided to make. Both Davis and Hield are streaky, shoot-first guys that put up a lot of ambitious shot attempts.
