Sacramento Kings podcast Barbara Mason:

1.The Kings suffered their 12th loss in a row-their worst stretch this season losing to the Cleveland Cavaliers 132-126.

2.Now that the trade deadline has past the Kings has stayed pretty much intact with only Keon Ellis and Dennis Shroder being traded before the deadline.

3. Despite the loss this was a well-played game for the Kings with every starter scoring in double digits as well as double digits from two of their bench players.

4.There are some very promising young players for Sacramento right now both starting and on the bench. Despite the rough time they are going through there just might be some light at the end of the tunnel.

5. Monday night the Kings have traveled to Smoothie King Arena in New Orleans in a quick turnaround taking on the struggling Pelicans, another opportunity to break their losing streak.
