The Kings stuck around (again), but the Spurs finished the game off to hand Sacramento its first home loss of the season.

The Kings' defense did its job most of the night. The Spurs racked up some points late to make the score pretty, but committed 20 turnovers and scored just 1.0 points per possession. (San Antonio tends to be up closer to 1.1.) But the Kings' offense was baaaaaad. Sacramento shot 35 percent from the floor, just 3-16 on threes and below 75 percent from the line. The Kings only stayed in contention because they limited turnovers (11), got those Spurs turnovers and crushed the offensive glass (15 in 56 opportunities).

The defensive improvement of this team has been encouraging. This is the best Kings defensive team (so far) in maybe a decade.

More post-game commentary in the morning.
