12/20 Darken the Beam

[Deathofthebambino]

LOL, last timeout for Sacramento.

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

I can’t stop laughing at “Pacific P”. Drew has definitely grown on me.

 

[ifmanis5]

Tatum for Ewing Theory?

 

[Deathofthebambino]

19/38 from 3 for Sacramento

Down by 25

that's insanity

Did Ewing Theory apply in Barcelona?

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

So is the story tonight better timeouts or shooting close to 60% from the field and out deep?

 

[Manzivino]

I can’t believe Jrue Holiday is the 5th best player on the team

since your asking

KP helped a lot at the rim on defense and in the halfcourt offense when the pace slowed

he may have added a point or two last night, but who knows

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

5 guys at 20+ points. That doesn't happen very often.

 

[riboflav]

Does Joe get cred for riding key starters the entire third quarter so they could not play again or nah?

 

[CJM]

One thing I like about both White and the Damaja is their demeanor, even in a pitched game, is "waiting in line at the grocery store."

 

[Manzivino]

Joe lives for challenging plays up 20+

But no Tatum or Horford. The rest of the rotation has been lights out. Point is last night they shot terribly, especially after Tatum got hurt, including lots of open looks. Tonight they made them. The delta between the two games is simply shooting.

Porzingis has been awesome no doubt.

5 guys scoring 20pts, it's almost like this team has a bunch of good players

Tonight was as enjoyable as last night was frustrating. Awesome response to last night’s disappointment.

 

[Manzivino]

Great job by the bench to play a solid 4th quarter and keep the starters resting

 

[Buster Olney the Lonely]

Great win. Tough to win on the road and the Kings are good. I was not expecting a blowout.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

That was an enjoyable couple hours.

 

[SteveF]

This is a qualitatively different team when Porzingis plays. And Brown really does seem to have improved his basketball feel.

 

[HowBoutDemSox]

Sacramento is 14-0 scoring 120+ and 2-9 otherwise. That seems at risk tonight.

And they scored 119.

 

[riboflav]

This is going to hurt and last night too the they suck in the third quarter narrative.

 

[bosockboy]

Would’ve taken the split before the GS game. Cancels out last night’s debacle.

 

[Brand Name]

The Kings tonight have become the first team in NBA history to shot 45% or better on 40 or more 3s but lose by 25. Previous record was 22 by the 2017-18 Mavs, who lost to the Lakers on February 23, 2018.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Pretty, pretty good.

 

[tommyshelby]

21 made threes on 48% three point shooting by the Kings... and lose by 25 at home. Wow

Curious. What was the score of that game?

124-102. None of the prior 11 winning teams got to 140, with the previous high being the 2019-20 Raptors, who 137-126.

Thank you!

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Huh. Just noticing that Jrue was 2 boards away from a triple-double, with 2 steals and a block. With 21 points on 13 shots. Dude is so steady and reliable.

 

[tims4wins]

Figured they'd split the first 2, just not in this order. 2-2 on the trip would be totally fine.

 

[joe dokes]

No Celtic had a negative +/- . Even the garbage timers held their own.

 

[128]

Queta gobbles up eight boards in 19 minutes. I love that dude's hustle.

 

[Koufax]

As often happens, I watched the game last night and read the game thread today. Both were highly entertaining. The Globe used to say "The game's not over till the Globe's here". I feel that way about the game threads. They let me enjoy the game all over again. Thanks to all who contribute.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Of course I stayed up for the Dubs game and sat this one out entirely.

 

[Don Buddin's GS]

I'm DVRing the West coast games and watching them in the morning. This game was a ton o fun to watch as opposed to the GS debacle.

Same. Didn't bother with GS. I don't think I need to.

 

[ifmanis5]

KP is out for tomorrow. Meanwhile Kawhi Leonard is questionable.
