After a close win last game led by lots of efficient scoring from Zion and Ingram and capped off with a great all-around performance from Naji Marshall (A lovely sight to see) we play again tonight against the Sacramento Kings, who are 22-31 right now.
Sacramento is the league's worst defense and only a middling offense (12th in the league) and have lost 6 straight games including matchups against the Spurs, Pistons, and Wolves; it's not looking pretty for them right now.
Last game was not pretty overall. Defense was woeful from the stars, and the offense degenerated at times into a game of taking turns to isolate, which isn't pleasant at all. That said, we did pull off a win, the defense in the second half was better though still not great, and there were some good signs of team play here and there. If we can channel more of that second half and less of that first half, we should be able to pick up a win tonight.
Let's see what happens: do we play down to Sacramento, or do we try and pick up a W?
Injury report will be added to the thread when it's posted.
