Here are three takeaways from the Kings’ 107-97 loss against the Indiana Pacers on Saturday night at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.
Kings fizzle after fast start
A day off might be what the Kings (13-12) need to finish their four-game trip with a better showing against the Chicago Bulls on Monday because they looked like a tired team on the second night of a back-to-back against the Pacers (16-10).
Buddy Hield had the hot hand early to help the Kings jump out to a 17-11 lead, but he eventually cooled off and most of his teammates had trouble getting into a rhythm offensively.
