Sacramento Kings podcast with Barbara Mason:

1. The Sacramento Kings suffered another loss this time at the hands of the Detroit Pistons 139-116. This was their fifth loss in a row as the trade deadline grows closer.

2.The Kings starters have struggled prompting changes in the lineup-meaning a lot more minutes for the bench and they have not disappointed.

3.The Pistons Cade Cunningham did most of the heavy lifting but had a lot of support from teammates in this win as well as some great work from their bench.

4.The Pistons are sitting on top in the Eastern Conference 5 1/2 games ahead of the second place Celtics.

5.The Kings will now head into New York Tuesday night for a matchup with the Knicks after beating them a few weeks ago at Golden One.
