Brenden Nunes, Frankie Cartoscelli, and Chris Watkins present another edition of the Return of the Roar podcast, this time discussing the Sacramento Kings’ starting to catch a rhythm over the last four games.
Averaging 127 points over the last five games, the guys broke down what’s been working during their offensive explosion. How much of it has to do with head coach Mike Brown deciding to move Malik Monk into the starting lineup, and what other trickle-down effects have come from that decision?
Also, Coach Brown’s tone has changed over the last few days. The trio dove into what he’s been emphasizing and his methods of communicating that through the media.

When is the next Sacramento Kings game?
With the NBA Cup’s knockout stage set to begin next week, Sacramento will play just one game over the next seven days, providing Mike Brown’s group a chance to regroup and get some much-needed practice.
The Kings’ lone game this week will be against the New Orleans Pelicans on Thursday night at the Smoothie King Center, the building that witnessed the end of Sacramento’s season in the Play-In Tournament just eight months ago.
New Orleans has been the Kings’ worst nightmare lately, going 6-0 against Sacramento last season.
