An interesting moment between Malik Monk and Mike Brown in the 3rd quarter.
Monk, who only played 5 mins in the first half, buries his second 3 of the period, turns and appears to say something in Brown’s direction. Both men have some words in the timeout, but looks to be… pic.twitter.com/kO5qixyJ8g – 11:48 PM

Mike Brown leaves Malik Monk in the game to start the fourth quarter. Based on body language I’d say they resolved their differences pretty quickly following that third-quarter timeout. – 11:46 PM

Kings lead the Hornets 78-75 heading to the fourth. The vibe is strange. Sabonis has 19 points and 16 rebounds, but also 4 fouls. Fox has 18 after a slow start. – 11:44 PM

Malik Monk says something towards the Kings bench after hitting his 2nd three-pointer of the quarter.
It’s probably nothing. But it caught my eye after Monk played just 5 minutes in the first half. He’s also not been afraid to talk to his coaches and teammates this season. pic.twitter.com/PTsCDXXBBl – 11:42 PM
