The nightmare continues for the Sacramento Kings.
Aside from an offensive burst at the end of the first quarter that trimmed a 15-point deficit to three, Sacramento was pummeled by the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday night. The Kings trailed by as many as 44 points en route to a 133-100 loss–their fourth-straight, which also concluded a 1-4 homestand.
Sacramento (3-9) kept pace with the 2017-18 Kings team for the worst 12-game start since the 1990-91 season, falling into a tie with Dallas for the 14th spot in the basement of the Western Conference standings.
It’s still early in the regular season–really early–but there aren’t many signs of hope for Sacramento as they continue to aimlessly stumble to one of their worst starts during the franchise’s history in California’s capital city.
