Thunder Warm Up for Post Season on Kings

By Tony Renteria

Sacramento CA:

The Sacramento Kings(27-50) hosted the Oklahoma City Thunder(56-21) tonight, the Thunder who have wrapped up their division title took an early lead in the second quarter kept up the momentum and cruised to a 107-92 road win.

The only highlight for the Kings was snapping Kevin Durant’s scoring streak of 25 or more points in a game at 41 games.  This highlight was dimmed by the fact the Durant played less than 32 minutes as the Thunder used the bench most of the fourth quarter while expanding on their lead.

Travis Outlaw and DeMarcus Cousins both scored 24 points each as no other Member of the team scored more than eleven points.  The Kings were without Rudy Gay and Isaiah Thomas who both average over 20 points per game.

The Kings missed those much need points as they played one of the hottest teams in the league, they just simply lacked the firepower to keep up with the Thunder.

The Thunder head south tomorrow to play the Clippers, while the Kings head north to play Portland.
