The Heat handed the Kings their second loss in the California Classic 86-76. Sacramento tried to close the gap late in the fourth quarter, but their effort was too little too late.

MB3FIVE meets with the media after the game:

This is what a man looks like. Marvin Bagley III #MB3FIVE did not have the kind of game for #SacramentoKings that he would like to remember – he came out of the locker room to speak to the media. There are a lot of vets who wouldn’t have done that. Thumbs up 👍 to MB35. #NBA pic.twitter.com/J5IDZa4EBx

The Warriors beat the Kings 71-54 Tuesday night in a game where Sacramento lacked the energy they showed in their victory on Monday night.

Tues night didn’t end up the way #SacramentoKings wanted it to as they lost to #Warriors 71-54 in gm 2 of #CaliforniaClassic. Fatigue may have been a factor for #SacramentoProud. Not having #swipathafox available didn’t help the Kings. Turnovers really hurt. #NBASummerLeague pic.twitter.com/MAtXXjTMQa

The Kings had some individual stats that they will like to remember.

Finally here’s a look at the #SacramentoKings numbers vs #Warriors in the 71-54 loss. Big bright spot: Justin Jackson #JJacks_44 who scored a gm-high 20 pts. Frank Mason #FrankMason0 started at PG & also had a strong game. #NBASummerLeague #CaliforniaClassic pic.twitter.com/D2ahHGAsY5

Point guard Frank Mason represented the Kings in the postgame press conference.

Meeting with the media after a loss is never fun but #SacramentoKings PG #FrankMason0 shows how it’s done after his team’s loss to #Warriors. He talked about the fun of playing, shaking off the loss & getting ready for the game on Thu. #NBASummerLeague #CaliforniaClassic #NBA pic.twitter.com/YtNMOrRyC3
