"And now for something completely different"

We Kings fans have had little cause to celebrate these past few years, this year especially so. Last night's victory against the Warriors was a much needed and most welcome respite.

The game itself was an offensive spectacle. Both teams shot 50% from the field, hit a bunch of three pointers, and just flat out scored. Aside from the Warriors' 24 point first quarter, each team scored 30 or more points in each period. Suffice it to say, defense was not a priority in this battle between NorCal rivals.

Cousins also moved the ball, finishing with five assists. Selfishness was not a problem for the Kings for once, as they finished with 25 assists, tying a season-high. They also had just 9 turnovers. Six Kings finished with 3 or more assists for the game, and only Cousins had multiple turnovers.

Two huge three pointers helped create separation in the final minutes for the Kings. With the Kings up 119-118, Aaron Brooks nailed his third three of the night from the left wing over Jarrett Jack. On the other end, Jack got to the line but was just 1 of 2. Sacramento hit yet another three in response though, as the Bayou Bomber made yet another emphatic statement that his demise was greatly exaggerated, nailing a triple to put the Kings up six. From then on, the game essentially became a Free Throw shooting contest, one in which the Kings came out on top.
