The Sacramento Kings (3-11) trailed the entire game in their sixth straight loss falling to the San Antonio Spurs (9-4) 123-110. It was more of the same, falling behind early sprinkled with some questionable defense and some poor offense.
DeMar DeRozan had the game high with 27 points and Domantas Sabonis recorded another double double with 17 points and 13 rebounds. Dennis Schroeder was spectacular off the bench with 22 points and six rebounds.
They were the good news in yet another loss for the team. It is just a matter of time before we see some long overdue changes as re-building seems to be the only option for the team. It is still early in the season but nothing seems to change for this current lineup and keeping them in place doesn’t seem a wise option. Whether these changes come sooner or later, they are coming.
Game recap: As the first quarter got underway both Domantas Sabonis and Precious Achiuwa both were in the line up despite being doubtful before the start of the game.
As has been the case far too often, the Kings trailed after the first 12 minutes of play. The Spurs had a 36-24 lead going into the second quarter. Sacramento started to turn things around outscoring the Spurs in the second quarter 35-31. San Antonio took a 67-59 lead into the locker room at the half.
As the third quarter got underway the Spurs continued to extend their lead and had actually led by 19 points in the quarter. As the quarter wore down the Kings had trimmed the San Antonio lead trailing by ten points going into the fourth quarter which has proven to be their achilles heel all season.
Unlike their last game, DeMar DeRozan was having a great game but Zach LaVine was having another slow start. Dennis Schroeder was solid off the bench and this game was still within reach with San Antonio leading 95-85 after three quarters but it was critical for Sacramento to start strong in the final quarter of the game.
Unfortunately for the Kings, they did not start the quarter strong instead they gave up two quick baskets, a De’Aaron Fox three-pointer followed by another Fox 18-foot jump-shot increasing their lead to 100-85 .
Sacramento rallied five minutes into the quarter cutting the Spur’s lead to single digits 105-98 but that’s where it all stalled out. San Antonio closed the game out winning by the score of 123-107 and Sacramento had increased their losing streak to six.
Domantas Sabonis recorded another double double in the game with 17 points and 13 rebounds. DeMar DeRosan had a terrific game scoring 27 points with four assists. Zach LaVine never came around and finished with eight points, two rebounds and three assists.
Russell Westbrook was solid with 14 points, nine rebounds and seven assists a great effort. Dennis Schroeder had a sound performance off the bench finishing with 22 points, six rebounds and five assists. Malik Monk also had a worthy effort scoring 16 points.
Fox finished the game with 28 points, the game high. Luke Kornet had a double double with 13 points and 11 rebounds. Harrison Barnes also had a terrific game for the Spurs with 20 points. The San Antonio bench scored a combined 42 points in the game the same number that the Kings bench scored.
Game notes: Sunday afternoon the Kings once again suffered another loss this time against the Spurs Sunday. The Kings lost to the Timberwolves Friday via another disastrous fourth quarter meltdown.
The Kings kept pace with Minnesota through three quarters but fell apart in the final quarter of the game. Struggles abound for the team. They have the fourth-worst defensive rating in the league as well as the sixth-worst offense.
The Kings consistently fall behind early and faces having to fight from behind. This trend continues game after game along with the fourth quarter woes. They can’t string together stops and continue to give up high scoring quarters giving opponents a huge edge.
They had three good quarters recently against the Nuggets and the Timberwolves but ugly starts in the fourth quarter of those games signaled the end. Unfortunately it’s not one player who is struggling defensively, the hard truth is that it’s the entire team and they do it game in and game out.
The Spurs come into this game without their superstar Victor Wembanyama who missed the game with calf tightness. This could have been a huge break for the Kings but will they couldn’t take advantage. They had to face former teammate DeAaron Fox who scored 28 points against his former teammates.
The Kings loss now puts them on a six-game losing streak and they need to find a way to get back in the win column. The Kings Domantas Sabonis was listed as questionable but ended up playing with a left ribcage contusion and Precious Achiuwa played the game.
The Kings will now travel to Oklahoma City jumping from the frying pan into the fire as they take on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Thunder on Wednesday night November 19th as this brutal schedule continues. Tipoff for this game is scheduled for 5:00 PM.

Sacramento Kings podcast Tony Harvey:
#1 How will De’Aaron Fox look to exploit the Spurs’ perimeter defense, particularly in pick-and-roll situations against Victor Wembanyama’s length?
#2 Can Domantas Sabonis control the paint against San Antonio’s frontcourt, and how might his playmaking from the high post disrupt the Spurs’ defensive schemes?
#3 Will Keegan Murray’s absence especially his perimeter shooting and can be a decisive factor in stretching the Spurs’ defense?
#4 How important will Malik Monk’s bench scoring and creativity be in matching San Antonio’s second-unit production?
#5 The Kings bring a five game losing streak into San Antonio can they get a quick fix and get the current skid deep sixed and pick up a win against the Spurs?

By Barbara Mason
Throughout three quarters the game between the Sacramento Kings (3-10) and the Minnesota Timberwolves (8-4) was a wild ride with the Kings trailing by a single point after three. In the early minutes of the fourth quarter we saw what has become the Kings inability to close out games.
After three minutes of play the Timberwolves took a nine-point lead 103-94. The final was 124-110. The Kings can hang with the best in the league but they just cannot finish. While it was a far better effort then Wednesday’s game it is still another loss dropping the team to a discouraging 3-10 season record.
Domantas Sabonis had the high for the Kings with 34 points and Zach LaVine had a solid second half finishing with 25 points. The changes that Head Coach Doug Christie had alluded too could be eminent.
Game recap: Going into the first quarter both Sabonis and Malik Monk took the court. After the first 12 minutes of play the Kings were keeping pace with the Timberwolves but trailed 35-30.
Sacramento kept at it outscoring the Timberwolves in the second quarter 31-26 and going into the locker room at the half, this game was tied at 61. Sabonis took Head Coach Doug Christie’s words to heart scoring 24 points in the first half.
Russell Westbrook and DeMar DeRozan were stagnant with Westbrook coming away empty and DeRozan scoring only two points. Sacramento was hitting 50% of their three-point attempts which were instrumental in a game so very close.
Both teams were terrible from the line with the Kings shooting at 56% and the Timberwolves not much better with 63%. The Timberwolves largest lead of the half was 11 points which the Kings were able to erase going into the third quarter with the game tied at 61.
Going into the third quarter the question remained; with the exception of Sabonis could these starters get their rears into gear. Could they play the brand of basketball that we know they are capable of.
The Kings got off to a good start in the third taking a 74-69 lead early. They have been struggling all season closing out games but this game looked different as they continued to extend their lead with as much as a seven-point lead.
Time would tell if Coach Christie’s harsh words resonated in any way. They certainly had for Sabonis and would any of the other starters follow suit. The first half indicated that they did but they had a long way to go in this game.
The Kings had a five point lead going into the final five minutes of the third but let the Timberwolves back on top with three minutes left in the quarter 88-84. The third quarter closed out with the Timberwolves clinging to a one-point lead 92-91.
Could the Kings dig deep and close out the fourth quarter? Going into the final quarter this game was up for grabs and Sacramento had a great opportunity to prove themselves.
Early in the fourth quarter this game was tied at 94. It all came to an end three minutes into the quarter when Minnesota took a 103-94 lead prompting a Sacramento time-out. Was history repeating itself or could the Kings right the ship? The reality in this game was yet another fourth quarter meltdown by Sacramento. The final was 124-110, the Kings season record dropping to a dismal 3-10.
The Kings hung with the Timberwolves through three quarters but as seen in the past could not close the game out. Sabonis had the game high with 34 points and 11 rebounds another double double. Zach LaVine finished with 25 points but DeRozan was very quiet finishing with six points. Despite playing for 16 minutes Malik Monk could have been hampered by his sore ankle not scoring at all with only one rebound.
Every Minnesota starter finished the game with double digits. Anthony Edwards had his team high with 30 points. Julius Randle had a double double with 26 points and 11 rebounds. Donte Divincenzo had a solid game turning in 20 points and 6 rebounds.
Game notes: Friday night the Kings took another tough loss and their loss streak hit five games. While it is still early in the season there is steep trouble for the Kings and Head Coach Doug Christie is livid as evidenced by a profanity-laden postgame press conference after a drubbing by the Atlanta Hawks 133-100 Wednesday night.
The Hawks were without ace Trae Young and as it turned out they didn’t need him to come away with the win. Christie called that game shameful Keon Ellis had the team high off the bench with 20 points in that game but the starting lineup was abysmal at best.
Domantas Sabonis and Russell Westbrook barely cracked double digits and DeMar DeRozan finished the game with four points. The starters collectively had 45 points while the bench finished with 55 points. While Ellis has been overlooked at times which is puzzling considering the great defense he provides and he has proven to be a strong offensive player.
Much of what Christie said to the team cannot be put into print but suffice to say he was far from pleased. One could not blame him for his colorful rhetoric considering the play the Kings saw against the Hawks. He also said he would not be looking at the tape, seeing it live once was more than enough for him.
Many of the fans began to exit the building when the team was trailing by 37 points going into the fourth quarter. The team was booed off the floor at game’s end. Christie also hinted that there were big changes coming for the team and that the front office was completely on board with those changes. “We’re going to find people who want to compete period,” Christie said.
The Kings have faced the most difficult schedule in the NBA and Friday night they will face yet another tough game. The Sacramento locker room is not a happy place right now and has not been since the start of the season.
The Kings have a lot of talented players who are growing more and more frustrated. Going into Friday’s game both Domantas Sabonis and Malik Monk were both listed on the injury list. Sabonis is struggling with a left ribcage contusion and Monk is also questionable with left ankle soreness. They are game-time decisions.
The Kings will continue on the road; they’re next stop in San Antonio for a matchup with Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs. Tipoff for that game is scheduled for Sunday November 16 at 1:00 PM.

NBA podcast Michael Roberson:
#1 The Cleveland Cavaliers Donovan Mitchell will miss the next game against the Chicago Bulls Tuesday night. Mitchell injured his left ankle in a game in Sacramento on Sunday.
Mitchell stepped on the Sacramento King’s Keon Ellis’ foot at center court and lost his balance and rolled over on his left ankle. Mitchell was in pain and had to be escorted off the floor with the trainers to the dressing room.
#2 Portland Trail Blazers general manager Joe Cronin was given a multiyear deal with the Trail Blazers on Monday. The Blazers have improved to over 14 wins compared to this time last season. Portland has 35 wins this season an have gone 22-16 since Jan 19th.
#3 New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson who was out over a month returned last Sunday to face the Phoenix Suns scoring 15 points and getting six assists to help the Knicks to a 112-98 win. While it wasn’t Brunson’s best outing he hit three out of nine from the floor and miss some of his jump shots. Brunson is trying to get his rhythm and timing back.
#4 The Denver Nuggets have been snake bitten since losing to the Minnesota Timberwolves on April 1. The Nuggets now have lost three in row since that 140-139 loss. The loses have been piling up since losing to the San Antonio Spurs Apr 2, Golden State Warriors Apr 4, and Indiana Pacers Apr 6. You would think with all that talent they have they would have been able to snap out it by now?
#5 Some fan was getting smart with the Washington Wizards Marcus Smart and it turned into a shouting match. Smart said a fan crossed the line and was heckling the Wizards bench at TD Garden in Boston while the Wizards were playing the Boston Celtics. Smart a former Celtic said, “You never want to see that, especially for a guy who’s coming back and has given the city everything he has.”

Sacramento Kings podcast with Jeremiah Salmonson:
#1 The Denver Nuggets Nikola Jokic scored 22 points and had 14 rebound and teammate Russell Westbrook had 25 points and the Nuggets came back from behind to overcome the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday night at Ball Arena 116-110.
#2 The Kings defense had a tough time defending the Nuggets Jamal Murray who scored 24 point and the Nuggets with the win had won the first three games against the Kings this season.
#3 Sacramento Kings DeMar DeRozan had scored 18 of 35 points that help give the Kings a 93-84 lead towards the end of the third quarter. Westbrook however beat back the tide scoring seven points in a row.
#4 The Kings Zach LaVine scored 12 of 20 points and had two 3 pointers that were deep outside shots, and it kept the Kings in the game by three points.
#5 The Kings are now ninth in the Western Conference behind the Clippers, Minnesota and Golden State for a shot at a playoff spot. The Kings tip off against the San Antonio Spurs at Golden 1 in Sacramento on tonight at 7:00pm PST. The Spurs are 13th in the Western Conference and lost four of their last ten games. Crucial game for the Kings if they plan to make that climb to sixth place for that last playoff spot.

On the Sacramento Kings podcast with Jeremiah:
#1 Jeremiah, how much of the decision to move De’Aaron Fox was a Kings decision or a Fox decision. After the firing of former Kings head coach Mike Brown thing took a different turn for Fox who like working with coach Brown and wasn’t exactly happy with the change.
#2 There was that period that Fox was on the trade block, Fox a long time King was a mainstay with the team but during that trade search were the Kings having internal problems was the trade rumors a distractions.
#3 Zach Levine is the anticipated King to come aboard and the Kings are hoping he make up for the loss of Fox. He didn’t play in the Kings last game against the Minnesota Timberwolves and is expected to be in the line up on Wednesday night in Sacramento against the Orlando Magic.
#4 What role, what expectations are expected from Levine once he does get on the floor and play his first game with the Kings?
#5 The Kings had struggled and after the Fox trade to San Antonio they were able to get back in the win column which they did against the Timberwolves on Monday night. Did dealing Fox pretty much smooth out the dressing room issues of the direction of the team?

Friday night the Sacramento Kings (11-13) took on the San Antonio Spurs (11-11) winning the game 140-113 and evening the score after the team had lost to the Spurs last Sunday. The starters had a tremendous effort and Keegan Murray finished the game with 17 points and three rebounds.
It is only one game but Murray has certainly taken a step in the right direction. Sabonis had another double double with 22 points and 16 rebounds. The three musketeers Domantas Sabonis, De’Aaron Fox and Malik Monk all scored 22 points each.
Game recap: The Spurs got a great start leading 28-19 with three minutes left in the first 12 minutes of play. After a King’s timeout, Sacramento went to work to tie up this game at 33 and we had ourselves a ball game. The Kings made up the deficit in record time and were looking to keep it up going into the second quarter.
The Kings took a 37-33 lead in the opening minute of the second quarter but it dissolved as the Spurs took back the lead. Three minutes into the quarter the score was tied at 40 and this game had all the signs of a real battle as the lead see-sawed back and forth.
The quarter got even more interesting when the Spurs Zach Collins was ejected from the game with a personal foul. With the Spurs down two players, Wembanyama who was out with lower back soreness and then Collins with the ejection Sacramento went on to take a 48-40 lead spurred by a Keon Ellis shot from downtown.
Four King bench players were getting in on the action and had 14 points through 1 1/2 quarters. Sacramento outscored the Spurs in the second quarter 36-26 and led at the half 69-59. The Kings protected the ball well in the first half coming away with six turnovers and were shooting well in the field at 56%. Sabonis was on the edge of another double double with nine rebounds and 13 points. DeMar DeRozan and Malik Monk also had double digits in the first half. They would need to play with the same energy in the second half and would be looking to extend their lead.
The Kings did indeed take the momentum from the first half into the third quarter. After three Sacramento had extended their halftime lead to 110-86. Every starter had double digits, Sabonis had his double double and the best of all, Keegan Murray had 12 points.
Sacramento would have to tighten up to finish off the Spurs in the fourth quarter. The Kings only had six turnovers through three quarters which was another plus that could help lead them to a win over San Antonio.
The Kings had a tremendous start in the fourth quarter and held a 20 point lead at 9:23 111-91. Kevin Huerter had been spotless from downtown going 4 of 4. As the clock wore down on the game Sacramento had taken a 130-109 lead. Every starter for the Kings was having a banner game and Sacramento had evened the score after the loss to the Spurs last Sunday 140-113.
Sacramento got some great offense from the King’s starters every one of them shooting double digits. DeRozan had the high for the team with 23 points. Sabonis, Fox and Monk each had 22 points.
Murray broke out of his funk scoring 17 points with six rebounds. It is only one game but it is sure a step in the right direction for Murray. The team only had 11 turnovers and shot 56% from the field. It was a badly needed win for Sacramento. Huerter was perfect from downtown hitting four shots and finished with 16 points off the bench.
Game notes: Western Conference battle last Tuesday evening, the Kings went onto lose to the Memphis Grizzlies 115-110 Thursday night and so it was back to the drawing board. The Kings were struggling dropping seven of their last ten games but managed a big win in San Antonio Friday night.
Something was going terribly wrong with this team but they seemed to have shaken it off on Friday with that outpouring of scoring. The talent on the team is undeniable as they got some answers against the Spurs.
Friday night they played in San Antonio taking on a team that beat them last Sunday 127-125 and got a little payback. They were riding a rocky road before Friday’s game. Along for the ride is Murray who had also struggled but scored 17 points against the Spurs.
Murray has fought through his miserable streak. The Kings had hoped that Murray was potentially a breakout player in this 2024-25 season. Murray had gone five straight games without a free throw in fact he has not gotten to the line in 11 of his last 12 games previous to Friday.
When the Kings signed DeRozan the thought was that DeRozan’s presence would open up some great looks for Murray. At age 24, Murray has gotten looks but his accuracy was not been very good but Friday he finished third in scoring.
Last season Murray had a 15 points per game average which is hardly the case this year he hopes after this game Friday he might have corrected that. He has been on a roll defensively and there is the hope and he was able to play some catch up Friday.
The Kings now return home to Sacramento to take on the Utah Jazz Sunday evening looking to start a string of wins; something they have not seen for awhile now. Tipoff for that game is scheduled for 6:00 PM.

#1 The Memphis Grizzlies Marcus Smart scored 18 points and his last two free throws put it to bed for Memphis 115-110 over the visiting Sacramento Kings.
#2 The Grizzlies Desmond Bane contributed with 18 points, Jaren Jackson Jr. and Santi Aldama each scored 15 points. Aldama also added 10 rebounds.
#3 DeMar DeRozan led the Kings in scoring with 26 points while Malik Monk had 23 points, DeAaron Fox had 18 and Domantas Sabonis had 17 points and 13 rebounds.
#4 Jeremiah anytime you have 20 lead changes and lose it has to be frustrating for the Kings after they had put together a big win against the Rockets on Tuesday night in Houston.
#5 The Kings head to San Antonio where they tip off with the Spurs Friday night. The Spurs have lost their last two games and are 8-5 at home. The Kings hope to recoup for their loss against Memphis.

#2 The Spurs Devin Vassell came off the bench and added 21 points to help the Spurs in a very close game.
#3 The Kings DeMar DeRozan led Sacramento with 28 points. The Kings were looking up in the first half before things took a turn in the second half. The Kings led 17 points in the first quarter and were up at the half 65-58.
#4 The Kings just couldn’t stop Wembanyama who shot five 3 pointers, and scored 13 points in the fourth quarter. The Spurs Chris Paul put the icing on the cake hitting a three pointer with 20 seconds left in the game to help give the Spurs a two point win.
#5 No rest for the weary Kings as they’re back at it again at Golden 1 Center as the tip off against the visiting Houston Rockets on Tuesday night at 7:00pm PST. The Kings have now lost five of their last six games. The Rockets have won five of their last six games and have won three in a row. How do you see Tuesday night’s game between the Rockets and Kings?
