Kings fans make great points about this roster needing upgrades. Not saying they are wrong at all.
But can we cool it with the “this team is in trouble” or “first round playoff exit again” after every loss?
Absolutely this team has issues & yet they’re still 17-11. Relax. – 1:21 AM

5. Like Huerter, Harrison Barnes was a non-factor for much of the night for the Kings. The veteran forward rallied late to post 12 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assists. The fact that he’s not finding ways to impact the game when he isn’t scoring is a huge issue. – 12:18 AM

6. With Malik Monk sitting out, the Kings’ second unit struggled to find their way. Monk is the motor that drives the group, but Sacramento needed more than 20 points on 8-for-21 shooting. Minnesota’s bench scored just 13, but equaling their ineptitude isn’t enough. – 12:18 AM

Huge answer for the Timberwolves to open this quarter while Anthony Edwards rests. They increase the lead to 18.
When Ant or now KAT has missed time this season, it feels like Rudy Gobert has stepped up with some of his best performances of the season in those games. – 11:54 PM

Last season, there were 7 teams in the league that shot 80% or better.
In the SACRAMENTO history of the Kings, they have never shot 80% or better from the free throw line. 3 seasons of 79%. – 11:50 PM

Offense hasn’t been great for the Sacramento Kings to start tonight, but this two-man game with Domantas Sabonis & Keegan Murray was nice. pic.twitter.com/UaaV9PFy19 – 10:28 PM

Almost every time the opportunity has presented itself for Jaden McDaniels to be significantly more aggressive with his offense this season he has taken it.
Jumping on the usage available in KAT’s absence tonight. – 10:28 PM

Timberwolves came out in this one determined to not let Sacramento dictate the game. This is the first chance they’ve had to avenge a loss and it seems they might’ve taken the one in Minneapolis personally pic.twitter.com/9HO6VCLxN2 – 10:28 PM

Keegan Murray with a two-handed hammer in traffic. Kings are shooting just 29.4 % from the field. 21-12 T-Wolves lead. – 10:26 PM

Lauri Markkanen isn’t going to make the all star team this season but he’s playing at the exact same level.
I’m actually more impressed with his current season because he hasn’t had Mike Conley for 50 games – 9:35 PM

Home crowd-esque ovation from the Celtics fans filling the lower bowl as they close out a 145-108 win, one-upping the 144 they just dropped in Sacramento. That’s almost 300 points in consecutive games. 47.2% from deep on 53 attempts. Just a dominant win. – 5:50 PM

You know it is bad when a coach has to take a timeout in garbage time like this.
9-4 Celtics run, 137-102 Celtics lead.
23 3s for Celtics = Most 3s a Clippers visitor ever made and 2nd-most ever made by a Clippers opponent overall (26 by Minnesota in February 2020) – 5:45 PM
