 Sacramento CA:  The Sacramento Kings coming of two straight wins invited the second place Houston Rockets into Sleep Train Arena and were routed by the score of 129-103.

Any headed way the Kings had made was lost in the first moments as James Harden(43 points on 11-20 shooting)  looked like he was a video game player blowing past confused King’s.  The Rockets opened up a huge first quarter lead of 42-17.  The game quickly became of game of garbage minutes for both teams as the Kings failed to even make a game of it.

The Kings were led by Rudy Gay and his 25 points but most of them came after the Rockets went into cruise control.  This game was really a true tail of two different teams, with much different paths.  The Kings wanted to slow the game down to let Demarcus Cousins 16 points work in the paint, but Harden keep his foot on the gas as the Rockets just simply out ran the Kings on their own court.

Houston headed to face the Clippers tomorrow, while the Kings go to face Lakers on Friday.

Note Jimmer Fredette contract is being bought out by the Kings who plan to release him very soon.  Fredette was no at the arena tonight
