Sacramento Kings podcast Tony Renteria:

#1 It seems after the Kings defeated the Houston Rockets on Sunday night they seem like they got their mojo back and hung with the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday night in a back and forth game for the second win in a row.

#2 Did DeMar De Rozan, playing at home against a team like the Lakers led in scoring with 32 points, how did he try to control the tempo, especially during momentum swings?

#3 For Russell Westbrook, what was the key to battling inside against the Lakers’ size, and how did Westbrook affect the Kings’ offensive flow?”

#4 Zach LeVine, how did the defensive matchups Monday night influence LeVine’s shot selection and activity off the ball?”

#5 Maxime Raynaud, when he was facing a familiar opponent, how did he balance staying aggressive while keeping the offense organized?

#6 On Precious Achiuwa, what stood out about the Lakers’ defensive coverage, and how did Achiuwa look to exploit it?”
