DOWNTOWN SACRAMENTO — The Sacramento Kings were back in action on Sunday night as they attempted to snap a seven-game losing streak against the Houston Rockets. After getting off to what was tied for their worst start in the Sacramento era prior to Sunday at 8-30, the Kings managed to defeat the Rockets 111-98.
In the first quarter of action, scoring was at a premium for both teams as they started slowly on the offensive end of the floor. The Kings were outscored by the Rockets 23-22 in the quarter, as Kevin Durant led the way for Houston with seven points in the first. Zach LaVine got the Kings going early, as his shot was falling in the opening frame, where he scored eight of the Kings’ 22 points.
In the second quarter, the Kings battled back and managed to outscore the Rockets 29-25 in the period. DeMar DeRozan was cooking in the second quarter for the Kings, as he scored 11 points in the frame to give Sacramento a 51-48 halftime lead. DeRozan led the Kings in first-half scoring with 13 points, while no other Kings players reached double figures at the break. Meanwhile, the Rockets got double-digit performances from Alperen Sengun, Amen Thompson, and Kevin Durant, who all scored in double figures in the first half. The first half was a good battle from the Kings, and it showed something Doug Christie has been looking for during the losing streak: effort.
In the third quarter, the Kings managed to keep the game close and maintain a razor-thin lead over the Rockets. Houston outscored Sacramento 28-27 in the period, but the Kings still went into the final quarter leading 78-76.
In the fourth quarter, it was the Dylan Cardwell show, as he almost single-handedly kept the Kings’ energy up in the early part of the quarter. The Rockets and Kings traded baskets, but it was Cardwell who ignited Sacramento and helped the team pull away. Cardwell amassed seven rebounds and two points in the quarter, helping the Kings outscore the Rockets 33-22 in the final 12 minutes. The Kings defeated the Rockets 111-98, marking their second victory of the season over Houston and snapping their seven-game losing streak.
Amen Thompson led all scorers with 31 points for the Rockets. On the Kings’ side, DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine led the way with 22 and 18 points, respectively. As a note, DeRozan also became just the 23rd member of the 26,000-points club with a made basket in the first half.
Malik Monk, who had been receiving a number of DNPs as of late and had fallen out of Doug Christie’s rotation, made a big impact for the Kings on Sunday night. Monk scored 15 points while adding four rebounds and three assists.
After the game, DeRozan spoke about the impact Monk had and the professionalism he has shown.
“It’s just a testament to the player that he is, the talent that he is, just to stay ready.”
Up next, the Kings stay home to take on the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday in the second night of a back-to-back. Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m.

MISSION BAY, SAN FRANCISCO — The Sacramento Kings were back in action on Friday night in San Francisco as they took on the Warriors. The two teams in action were a far cry from what they were just two full seasons ago when they faced each other in a first-round matchup in the playoffs that went seven games.
When the two faced off on Friday, the Kings were solidly out of a playoff spot and the Warriors were fighting to be in the eighth seed as of this writing. The Kings gave the Warriors a run for their money, but the Warriors ultimately defeated the Kings 137-103.
Before the game, Doug Christie spoke with the media on the standard of Kings basketball he expects to see from his players, and he certainly got a version of that in the first half.
The Kings, playing Malik Monk in the first half, went toe to toe with the Warriors in a very competitive 24 minutes of basketball. The Kings were outscored in the first quarter 34-29 but managed to outscore the Warriors 30-29 to head into halftime trailing only 63-59.
The Kings shot 52% from the field and 38.5% from deep in the first half to keep pace with the Warriors offense, which put up similar numbers. It’s hard not to draw some sort of conclusion that Malik Monk getting minutes in the first half had some correlation with the Kings being able to match the Warriors. Malik finished the first half with eight points and no turnovers on 4-for-5 shooting during nearly 11 first-half minutes of action.
It was an encouraging half from the Kings, who looked to continue to assert Doug Christie’s desired style of basketball in the second half.
The third quarter was mostly the same for the Kings. They were competing on both ends of the floor, and that led to an 84-84 game with 3:10 to go in the third quarter. However, what followed was a complete meltdown from the Kings. In the remaining time in the third quarter, the Warriors went on a 13-0 run to take a 97-84 lead into the final 12 minutes of action.
The fourth quarter didn’t go much better for the Kings. The Kings were embarrassed in the final quarter as they were outscored 40-19 and fell to the Warriors 137-103 on Friday night at Chase Center. The Kings’ defense gave up in the final quarter of the game and allowed what was a close game for the most part to get away from them and end in blowout fashion.
The Warriors got 66 bench points compared to only 38 points from the Kings bench. The Warriors also got 60 points in the paint compared to the Kings’ 50 points in the paint.
Over the final nearly 15 minutes of the game, the Warriors outscored the Kings 53-19. It was a microcosm of the season in which the Kings show some fight and completely collapse in key moments of the game.
“Speaking to them in there, I said, ‘It’s 180 seconds, you guys relaxed,’” Doug said after the game, referring to the 13-0 run the Warriors went on to finish the third quarter. “It’s unacceptable. It can’t happen. But it’s been a theme. Good enough to win, but also good enough to hang in and then get beat. So there’s a nastiness and a fire that it has to make you mad for you to break through that.”
Speaking with the media in the locker room after the game, Zach LaVine was frustrated but at a loss for solutions.
“I mean, each game you go into, we’re trying to get off the schneid,” Zach said after the game. “Today we had a really good opportunity too, and we let another one get away. It’s not like we’re going to get this back. Eventually we’ve got to put our foot down and figure out how to get a win. It doesn’t matter how good you play through three quarters or whatever. I think we’ve been talking about that enough.”
Enough may never come for this Kings team. The Kings have had their backs against the wall since last season with this roster, and it seems no combination or buttons that Doug Christie presses make any difference in the outcome of the game.
The Kings have now lost seven straight games and have the second-best lottery odds in this year’s NBA lottery with an 8-30 record.
Up next: The Kings will return home to take on the Houston Rockets on Sunday at 6 p.m. PST inside the Golden 1 Center.

#1 Zach LaVine has been the Kings’ leading scorer—how do you expect him to attack the Warriors’ perimeter defense and get his looks against a tough backcourt?
#2 With DeMar DeRozan’s experience and mid-range scoring, how can Sacramento use him to control the tempo early and keep Golden State from building a quick lead?
#3 Russell Westbrook brings veteran playmaking—what role will he play in setting the Kings’ pace and facilitating offense against the Warriors’ switching defenses?
#4 Malik Monk has been a scoring spark off the bench this season—how important will his shooting be in keeping the Kings competitive if Sacramento falls behind early?
#5 Keon Ellis provides energy and 3-point shooting—can he help space the floor and make timely shots to relieve pressure on Sacramento’s stars?

DOWNTOWN SACRAMENTO — The Sacramento Kings were back in action on Tuesday night at the Golden 1 Center to take on the Dallas Mavericks. However, the game itself seemed like the secondary story of the night.
The Sacramento Kings and Dallas Mavericks are two teams with very recent falls from grace. There are a lot of similarities to draw between the two franchises, to go along with some stark differences. In this one the Kings fell from grace on Tuesday night 100-98 in razor close contest.
Both the Kings and Mavericks were playoff teams as recently as 2023 and 2024, respectively. Yet, neither team has any hopes of making the playoffs this season after major roster blowups were enacted by the teams’ front offices.
Last season, the Kings fired the first coach to take them to the playoffs since Rick Adelman in 2006, Mike Brown. Along with the Mike Brown firing came the departure of De’Aaron Fox at the trade deadline, which marked the end of the “beam team” era for the Kings.
On the other side of the court, the Dallas Mavericks — and since-fired GM Nico Harrison — traded their All-Star and young star Luka Dončić to the Los Angeles Lakers in what was one of the more puzzling moves in NBA history. Harrison has since been fired, and the Mavericks have moved on to a new group to lead the team.
Two teams with unforced errors now find themselves at the bottom of the Western Conference. As of Tuesday, the Kings sit at 14th in the conference with only eight wins on the year. The Mavericks are a 13-win team and sit at 12th in the West. The two franchises share a lot of similarities in their situations near the bottom of the standings. The main difference is that the Mavericks were fortunate enough to land the No. 1 pick in last year’s NBA Draft and selected Cooper Flagg, whom they now look to as their future.
On the other hand, the Kings have no first-round pick as part of their future and have a roster full of misfit veteran players with very little size or defensive ability.
These issues were on full display on Tuesday during the loss to the Mavericks.
The Kings lost to the Dallas Mavericks in fitting fashion, as the game came down to a botched play with less than 30 seconds left that led to isolation basketball for the veteran players on the team. Fittingly, the Kings were unable to convert, falling to the Mavericks 100-98.
The Kings did a good job holding the Mavericks to just 100 points, but the offense, which is ranked near the bottom of the league, failed them in the second half of the game.
Maxime Raynaud, who fouled out, was confident after the game that the Kings’ offense would turn it around given the level of talent on the roster.
“Everything kind of comes up given where we are at right now, but I do believe we have some extremely talented offensive players,” Raynaud said. “I mean, Russ is the highest-scoring point guard of all time. Zach has been a 50-40-90 player all his life. Deebo is probably one of the best closers in the NBA. So in that sense, we probably just have to find more collective solutions and not only rely on them carrying us every single game. We’ve got to give them some help.”
Help may not be what the Kings need. From the viewer’s perspective, the offense simply seems broken and stagnant — a recipe for disaster in the modern NBA.
“Just being more organized, understanding what we could get instead of trying to rely on a one-leg 30-footer to go in,” DeMar DeRozan said of the late offensive woes after the game. “Just got to give ourselves a better chance.”
The Kings have lacked organization and rhythm on the offensive side of the ball all year, and Tuesday was no different. The offensive stagnation has been an issue since the Kings blew up the roster last season before the trade deadline. Unlike the Mavericks, the Kings have no clear path forward to improve the team or their chances at another playoff appearance in the near future.
Up next, the Kings will travel to San Francisco on Friday to take on the Golden State Warriors at 7 p.m. inside Chase Center.

Sacramento Kings podcast with Barbara Mason:
1.Sunday night the Sacramento Kings took on the Milwaukee Bucks at Golden One Center. Both teams are struggling this season but it was the Bucks who were favored in this game with a 16-20 record.
2.It was a game time decision for Giannis Antetokounmpo taking the floor in the game after suffering a calf injury and as it turned out he was indeed able to play in this one.
3.After trailing by as much as 26 points in the second half, the Kings got to within three points in the second half of the fourth quarter only to let the Bucks back in the game and eventually run away with it.
4.The Kings welcomed Zach LaVine back on the court playing off the bench and three Sacramento starters had double digits with Russell Westbrook scoring 21 points the team high. It just wasn’t enough to get past the Bucks.
5.The Kings will take another crack at the Dallas Mavericks Tue Jan 7th. The Kings hoping for the same result they had back on December 27 when they won that game. The Kings would like nothing more than to break this horrific losing streak and beat Dallas a second time.

After making an epic comeback, the Sacramento Kings (8-12) came up just short losing to the Milwaukee Bucks (16-20). They had trailed by as much as 26 points getting to within three points in the second half of the fourth quarter only to let the Bucks run away with the game 115-98.
The Bucks Giannis Antetokounmpo made life pretty miserable for the Kings finishing with a double double, 37 points and 11 rebounds. Kevin Porter Jr. also played a huge role in the win scoring 25 points . The high for the Kings was Russell Westbrook with 21 points and Zach LaVine finished with 20 points on his return..
Game recap: After the first 12 minutes of play the Kings trailed by a couple of points 28-26. The Kings took a slight lead mid-way through the quarter but the Bucks fired back taking a seven-point lead with two minutes left in the first quarter 26-19. With 48 seconds left on the clock the Kings had fought their way back into the quarter tying up the game at 26. Sacramento was still in this game.
The second quarter turned upside down for the Kings getting outscored 34-18 by Milwaukee. After a competitive first quarter, the team just came apart in the second quarter trailing at the half 62-44.
Antetokounmpo who was able to take the court in the game just wore the Kings down. Sacramento had put the stops on the turnovers which was good news but they were shooting at around 57% from the line and could not hit a three only having two in three quarters of play.
Four Bucks were shooting in double digits with Antetokounmpo leading the way with 24 points and nine rebounds. Myles Turner, Porter Jr., and Ryan Rollins all had double digits through three quarters.
The Kings Westbrook, Keegan Murray and DeMar DeRozan all finished the third quarter with double digits but they could not put the stops on the damage that Antetokounmpo was bringing.
After three quarters the Bucks had taken an 85-69 lead. Sacramento was much more competitive in the third quarter outscoring the Bucks 25-23 but they just had a lot of ground to make up going into the fourth quarter.
After trailing by as much as 26 points, the Kings cut the Bucks lead to 85-75 in the final quarter. With 11:10 left in the game the Kings had a very real chance for a come-back in this game. Sacramento continued to cut the Bucks lead to single digits 88-85 with under nine minutes left in the game.
When it was looking so very positive for the Kings the Bucks pushed their lead back out to 95-85 with a lot of time still left in the game. Porter Jr. and Antetokounmpo had come up huge for Milwaukee in the final minutes of the quarter. After the amazing rally by Sacramento the Bucks hung tough finishing off Sacramento 115-98.
The Kings fought hard in the second half of the game fending off a 26-point deficit pulling to within three points but let the Bucks back in the game. It was yet another heart-breaking loss for the team, their sixth loss in a row.
LaVine had a great game off the bench finishing with 20 points. Westbrook had the team high with 21 points.
Antetokounmpo had a solid game finishing with a double double 37 points and 11 rebounds. Porter Jr. was also terrific scoring 25 points with 4 rebounds. The Bucks had outplayed the Kings on both ends of the court.
Game notes: Sunday night the Kings battled but lost to the Bucks at Golden 1 Center. The Kings suffered a fifth straight loss. It would be fair to say that the season is over with only 46 games left in the season but they may be looking at some improvement in those remaining games.
Sunday night the Kings welcomed Zach LaVine back on the court playing off the bench. For a minute the Kings was concerned with yet another possible blow when Maxime Raynaud came out of their matchup Friday night against the Phoenix Suns. He limped off the court with a leg injury mid-way through the fourth quarter. He went immediately to the locker room.
Thankfully an MRI taken after the game proved to be negative and the Kings had avoided yet another setback. The last thing the Kings could afford would be to lose another center who was playing in the absence of Domantas Sabonis. The Bucks Giannis Antetokounmpo was probable going into Sunday night’s game suffering a right calf strain and played 32 minutes. Neither team can boast a stellar season but the Bucks had the real edge since Antetokounmpo took the court.
The Kings will remain at home for their next game taking on the Dallas Mavericks Tue Jan 7th. They will be looking for a second win over Dallas having beaten them on December 27. Tipoff for this game is another late one with an 8:00pm PT start.

Draymond Green Golden State Warriors guard (23) voices his opinion with officials just another day at the office for Green (AP file photo)
The Warriors and Draymond – A Soap Opera
That’s Amaury News and Commentary
By Amaury Pi-González
In the United States, Soap Operas have been a staple on television for decades. Guiding Light, General Hospital, The Bold and the Beautiful, The Young and the Restless, As the World Turns, and others. Guiding Light (which ran for a combined 72 years on radio and television) is almost as long as the NBA, which was founded in 1946.
We can also include Spanish-language TV soaps, some of which are international and generational. The Warriors and Draymond are currently the longest-running NBA Soap Opera. From the 2016-17 season, when he called the Warriors “the greatest team the NBA has ever seen,” to a couple of weeks ago, he spoke about his heated exchange with coach Steve Kerr.
Some other comments are on his podcast, like when he called out Nicki Minaj for repeatedly mentioning LeBron James in her songs; ‘Is Nicki going to say ‘Bron in every song? At some point, it just becomes too repetitive,” Post-game comments about his team from: ‘we s…tonight’ to others of his greatest hits. And many other “episodes” on and off the court that are always interesting.
The forward and power forward, sometimes center, is a very talented player. Not only does he show you his 4 NBA Championship rings, accolades, including the 2017 NBA Defensive Player of the Year, and his 4-time NBA All-Star status, but he can also talk to you about the two Olympic Medals he won with Team USA. Draymond is the Warriors’ defensive anchor and emotional leader, but it is his defensive skills that set him apart; he sees the court very well and has the talent to guard all five positions.
As of today, I consider Draymond Green a good bet for the NBA Hall of Fame. His stats are there; he reminds me of Dennis Rodman (NBA Hall of Fame), who was a great rebounder and defender in NBA history. He was a key player on the Chicago Bulls’ 5 World Championships, always controversial, but a great shot blocker.
I covered those teams when I was broadcasting Warriors games, home and away, in the 1990s, as I also remember a guy named Steve Kerr a brilliant guard-point guard and excellent shooter, who played with those great Michael Jordan-era championship teams.
Enjoy Draymond and the Warriors Sopa Opera. I like Draymond. He is fun, and it makes it a good show, and that is what the fans want, of course, as long as you can win, ‘it’s all good’. I can see Draymond on television with his own show; his personality reminds me of Charles Barkley, never, ever lost for words!
Quote: ‘Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships- Michael Jordan.
