The Kings gave up a franchise high to the Pelicans. Why Joerger likes what he sees

The Kings’ plan to play at a high pace is showing on the scoreboard in the early going.

Sacramento is averaging 123 points and has shot better than 50 percent in both regular-season games. However, their opponents are also scoring at a high level while shooting with accuracy.

The New Orleans Pelicans did both in a big way Friday, handing the Kings a 149-129 loss at Smoothie King Center. The hosts’ scoring total was a franchise record.

Despite the opponents’ big night, coach Dave Joerger wasn’t discouraged.
