Kings on 29-4 run. Oops Ben had a dunk. Make it 29-6. – 11:00 PM
Erik Slater @erikslater_
Nets defense has been embarrassing tonight. Turning the ball over, getting backdoored, losing shooters.
Complete lack of focus that we haven’t seen in recent games. – 11:00 PM
Jason Anderson @JandersonSacBee
Here’s what they’re playing inside Golden 1 Center when Kevin Huerter hits a 3 …
“What is love” by Haddaway:
What is love?
Oh baby, don’t hurt me
Don’t hurt me
No more – 11:00 PM
Nick Friedell @NickFriedell
This one has gotten ugly fast for the Nets. The Kings are just racing up and down the floor. The defense that had been solid over the last week is getting demolished. The most damning part for Brooklyn is that the Kings are just playing harder. – 10:59 PM
Matt George @MattGeorgeSAC
Kevin Huerter has 4 threes and the Kings are up 23. – 10:58 PM

Three more Kevin Huerter 3s in the first half tonight. He’s 48-of-92 from deep this season. 52 percent. Kings up 21 on the Nets. – 10:57 PM
Jason Anderson @JandersonSacBee
It was 40-40. Now it’s 64-42. Kings all over the Nets late in the first half. – 10:57 PM

The streak has hit 24-2. Kings running over the Nets here in the second. 64-42. – 10:57 PM
Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
Nic Claxton has no hope of guarding Domantas Sabonis. The problem for the Nets is they don’t have anyone else to try on him. – 10:57 PM
Brian Lewis @NYPost_Lewis
#Nets – who coughed up 16 unanswered points – trail the #Kings 64-42 with over three minutes left in the half. – 10:57 PM

Terence Davis’ steal & dunk caps off a very impressive 2nd quarter. pic.twitter.com/gXEMExTkLt10:54 PM

Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed
Nets miscues on offense are giving the Kings easy buckets in transition. Team is trying to figure out Ben Simmons’ evolving role in this offense. Important stretch for the Nets down 12 midway through the 2nd quarter. – 10:52 PM
Tom Orsborn @tom_orsborn
Per The Canadian Press: “Sharpe does not lack for confidence in his ability…having said in June he sees himself “being one of the greatest players to ever play the game of basketball,” according to James Boyd of the Indianapolis Star and that he aims to win rookie of the year.” – 10:51 PM
Matt George @MattGeorgeSAC
Have yourself a quarter Terence Davis! pic.twitter.com/zT8NCNbfB110:51 PM
James Ham @James_HamNBA
Terence Davis with another steal and dunk. He’s all over the court. 10 points, 4 rebounds, 2 steals and a block in 5 minutes. 12-0 run for Sacramento. 52-40 Kings lead. – 10:51 PM
Jason Anderson @JandersonSacBee
Terence Davis going crazy. – 10:50 PM

Sean Highkin @highkin
Sharpe missed a lob dunk that would have been his best dunk of the year which is already an insanely high bar – 10:48 PM
Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed
Tough stretch. Ben Simmons looks good but it’s still difficult for the Nets to generate offense with KD on the bench and Kyrie Irving serving his suspension. Simmons is making a concerted effort to get to the rack, but it’s not all the way there yet. Nets searching for offense. – 10:47 PM
Christos Tsaltas @Tsaltas46
Good 8-0 run by the Kings. Terrence Davis stepped up behind the arc. Good response by the 2nd unit. #SacramentoProud #BeamTeam10:46 PM
Matt George @MattGeorgeSAC
After Terence Davis hit that transition three, he and Ben Simmons bumped shoulders on the way to their benches for the timeout.
Davis followed Simmons and they shared words. Dapped up after. – 10:46 PM
James Ham @James_HamNBA
Terence Davis is having a moment. He’s all over the glass and getting deflections. Knocked down a pair of 3s. 8-0 run for Kings. – 10:46 PM
Jason Anderson @JandersonSacBee
TD for 3 x 2 = Kings 48, Nets 40 – 10:45 PM
Dave Mason @DeuceMason
TD out there making plays on both ends. Big boost off the Kings bench tonight – 10:45 PM
Jason Anderson @JandersonSacBee
Kings rookie Keegan Murray went the locker room after getting shaken up a few minutes ago. Looked like GM Monte McNair headed back there as well. – 10:45 PM
Chris Herring @Herring_NBA
I think the Kings are at the very top of my league pass favorites this year so far – 10:44 PM

Shaedon Sharpe has the most casual swish and I love it. – 10:41 PM

After leading by 12, Spurs enter 2Q down, 30-29.
With Jones’ steadying hand back in lineup, they’ve got 10 assists after recording a season-low 18 last night.
Poeltl leads Spurs with 9 points on 3 of 3 and 3 of 4 from the FTL. Sharpe off the bench w/ 10 on 4 of 5 for Blazers. – 10:37 PM

Yuta Watanabe does everything you want from a role player.
And he does it with the same hustle every single game. – 10:30 PM
Jason Anderson @JandersonSacBee
De’Aaron Fox for 3 at the buzzer. Count it. Kings lead the Nets 36-30 at the end of Q1. – 10:30 PM
Bill Herenda @billherenda
. @TimCapstraw has compared Kevin Durant to a QB reading different coverages as Durant faces so many different defensive looks Seeing that in Sacramento as well as every night @Brooklyn Nets @Sacramento Kings @BKNetsRadio @ChrisCarrino @WFAN660 #NBA – 10:29 PM
Brian Lewis @NYPost_Lewis
Just watch Yuta Watanabe hustle. His give-a-damn meter runs high. #Nets10:29 PM
Matt George @MattGeorgeSAC
I will never not root for Seth Curry. – 10:27 PM
Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed
Ben Simmons is moving with an extra pop in his step. Don’t think we’ve seen him move like this all season. Looks like he’s getting his explosiveness back with every game. Good sign for Simmons and Nets. – 10:26 PM
Christos Tsaltas @Tsaltas46
In less than 10 minutes the Kings have scored 30 points. At the same time their defensive effort remains really high, allowing 20 points and 1 of 7 from deep to the Nets. Very productive quarter. #SacramentoProud10:22 PM
Sacramento Kings @SacramentoKings
a pest in the post 😤💪

Another good start for Harrison Barnes. 7 points, 4 rebounds and an assist in 9 minutes.
He’s been playing well during this Kings winning streak. Not a coincidence. – 10:21 PM
Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed
Domantas Sabonis has replaced Nikola Vucevic as the Net killer – 10:21 PM

Sean Highkin @highkin
With Justise Winslow out, Shaedon Sharpe and Drew Eubanks are the first two off the bench. Nurkic getting a quicker hook than usual. Rough matchup for him so far. – 10:19 PM

Early 9-2 rebounding advantage for the Kings, who lead the Nets 28-16 late first quarter. – 10:19 PM

Ben Simmons and Nic Claxton sharing the floor here early. – 10:18 PM
Nick Friedell @NickFriedell
Ben Simmons checks in for the first time. This morning he said he felt a lot better moving around the floor since camp started.
“Little things like that I look at in film and I’m like, “Ok, there’s a little bit of Ben. He’s coming back.” – 10:18 PM
Christos Tsaltas @Tsaltas46
First bucket for Domas. All the members of the Kings starting lineup has scored #SacramentoProud10:17 PM
Matt George @MattGeorgeSAC
Lol why are Kings fans booing Ben Simmons? – 10:17 PM
James Ham @James_HamNBA
Kings are dominating the offensive glass early. Plenty of second chance opportunities. – 10:16 PM
Nick Friedell @NickFriedell
Nets defense getting shredded early — Kings are 7-for-12 from the field and getting anything they want offensively. Nets already 0-for-5 from beyond the arc after going 7-for-27 in Sunday’s loss to the Lakers. – 10:12 PM
Christos Tsaltas @Tsaltas46
Kings defense at a very high level.
Kevin Durant: 3 of 3 from the field
Rest of the Nets starting line up: 1 of 6
The progression on the defensive end is clear. #SacramentoProud10:12 PM
Matt George @MattGeorgeSAC
19-9 Kings start. Ball movement is good and the offensive attack is balanced. Kings are throwing double teams at Kevin Durant immediately. – 10:11 PM

This is a really good Kings basketball tonight. High-level energy from the beginning. Very good start. #SacramentoProud10:09 PM

Kevin Huerter finally gets the Kings on the board with a flip in the lane. Follows it up with a triple. 5-2 Kings. – 10:04 PM
Nick Friedell @NickFriedell
I think it’s cool how excited Kings fans are to be back on national TV. There’s a hype man on the floor telling fans to wave their towels because they’re about to go live on TNT. Reminds me of Magic games in the early 90s when they got a national TV game. A lot of civic pride. – 10:04 PM

Vaughn says there is no update on the Kyrie situation. He says Sean Marks is in “constant communication with the league and Joe Tsai.”
“[Marks] tells me when he has an update, he’ll let me know.” – 8:44 PM
Brian Lewis @NYPost_Lewis
Jacque Vaughn said he has no update on Kyrie Irving’s status or timeline for a return. #Nets #NBA8:38 PM
Brian Lewis @NYPost_Lewis
Vaughn: “I told (Simmons) Im gonna try my best to put you in a position – whether that’s the group I put you out there with, whether that’s the time you check in – but our ongoing conversations to try to make him feel comfortable as a basketball player, thats my challenge.” #Nets8:37 PM
Brian Lewis @NYPost_Lewis
Jacque Vaughn on Simmons: “The big piece of that is the group still having confidence in him – which we do – and then putting him in positions to have success. So that’s keeping things extremely simple. Like defensively, do what you do, and that starts with playing hard…” #Nets8:36 PM
Brian Lewis @NYPost_Lewis
On if Ben Simmons feels more pressure w/ Kyrie out: “I always have pressure on me. Everything I do. It’s just like when does it max out, you know? There’s got to be some point where it’s just like, fu-k. It is what it is at this point. I realize that.” #Nets8:22 PM
