Rather than taking in Tuesday’s pregame media availability, Sacramento Kings head coach Doug Christie walked into the press conference room with a message.
“Change is hard, ya’ll. It’s hard,” he started. “But understand, and we understand, that we’re not there yet. But we’re about to work at it like crazy.”
Sacramento started its season 3-7 and was fresh off allowing 144 points to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday.
He echoed a similar sentiment to the one he shared after the loss. “We’re gonna play to a standard.”
“So, when I see the hate, the haters, the fakers, all you guys, you keep that energy,” he continued. “And while you’re doing that, eventually, we’re gonna be coming. The King Show.”
Well, the visiting Denver Nuggets had the best seat to Wednesday night’s show in Golden 1 Center as they faced off against the Kings.
You could say they stole the show, even, leaving California’s capital with a 122-108 win. Nikola Jokic had his typical MVP-caliber performance with 35 points, 15 rebounds, and seven assists.
Despite a promising first half from Sacramento, they weren’t able to get the job done.
Six Kings players tallied double-digit points in their efforts, shooting 48.2 percent from the field as a group. Conceding 15 offensive rebounds, leading to 23 second chance points, while failing to limit Jokic (and hardly double-teaming him).
Kings fight, but utlimatley fall 122-108 to visting Nuggets
