The Sacramento Kings have a 16 season playoff drought.
If the playoffs started today they would have home-court advantage.

Don’t play with your food. The Rockets came into Sacramento riding a 7 game losing streak. The Kings allowed Houston to stick around way too long and almost got bit. Here are 6 quick thoughts as the Kings throttled up in the fourth to pick up a 135-115 win to move to 22-18. – 12:30 AM

From time to time, good teams with have “toy with your food” wins over bad teams.
This doesn’t feel like one of those nights. The Kings didn’t play well for most of this game and finally woke up in the 4th quarter.
But a win is a win! 135-115 the final. – 12:26 AM

Rockets-Kings is a one-point game going into the fourth quarter. Denver up 29 on Suns in the game ESPN dropped Rockets-Kings to show. A logical decision but the flex schedule jinx ruled. – 11:55 PM

Alperen Sengun has 6 points, a career-high 10 assists and 9 rebounds heading into the 4th Q. He is 20 years and 170 days old and is looking to supplant Kevin Porter Jr. (21 years, 330 days old vs. Sacramento on 3/30/22) as the youngest Rocket to have recorded a triple-double. – 11:53 PM
James Ham @James_HamNBA
After leading most of the game, the Kings trail 95-94 heading to the fourth. Sabonis leads with 23 points, 14 rebounds and 7 assists, but ball movement stopped in the third. Kings settled for too many 3s. – 11:52 PM
Sean Cunningham @SeanCunningham
This was just gnarly. Jabari Smith Jr. with the vicious dunk on fellow rookie Keegan Murray in the 3rd period.

I know Keegan Murray is out performing your rookie. You don’t need to club him on a fast break. – 11:46 PM

This is the 2nd straight game where I’ve noticed Domantas Sabonis getting increasingly agitated with the officials.
I guess after 39 games of getting hit in the face, you get a little tired of being fouled. – 11:39 PM
Alykhan Bijani @Rockets_Insider
Jabari Smith having a terrific game off-ball offensively. His movement on the perimeter and cutting while Sengun operates at the top of the key has opened up a ton of looks for his teammates. – 11:34 PM
Matt George @MattGeorgeSAC
Your expectations should be much higher than how the Kings are playing. – 11:32 PM

#Rockets say Kevin Porter Jr is out for th remainder of the game with a left foot contusion. Late 1stQ, he left the game shortly after he collided with Tate (who was pushed by Monk) & did not return. Rockets down 69-64 early in 2nd half. Martin started 2nd half for KPJ. – 11:25 PM

When writing about the Rockets’ issues knocking down open shots, asked Jabari Smith Jr. about getting out of his shooting slump houstonchronicle.com/texas-sports-n… Not going well so far tonight. He was 0 for 4 in the first half, mostly with very good looks. Does have five boards. – 11:20 PM

Alykhan Bijani @Rockets_Insider
Impressed by Sengun in the second quarter. Contested shots at the rim vertically, and did not pick up a 3rd foul. Learning to defend without fouling, especially when in foul trouble, and still positively impacting the game, is a very positive development for him. – 11:16 PM
Jonathan Feigen @Jonathan_Feigen
Kings 67, Rockets 62. Green with 18 on 6 of 15 shooting. Looking for a bounce back in a sort of homecoming. houstonchronicle.com/texas-sports-n… On pace to surpass his career high for FGA of 26. Sabonis with his 18th-consecutive double double, has 11-12-6. – 11:11 PM

This Wolves 2-game road trip took them to Houston and Detroit — the two worst records in the league — and they fell down by 20+ points in both games.
Yes, they came back and beat Houston. But this is why this team is hard to believe in.
