Kings can’t hack it in Utah, lose 106-99

A late flurry of hack-a-Shaqs nearly brought the Kings back into the game, but it wasn't enough to overcome the terrible defense that got them into a 20 point deficit.

The Sacramento Kings dropped their fourth straight game tonight, losing in miserable fashion to the Utah Jazz after a terrible second half led to the Kings being down 20.  With the loss, the Kings are now in sole possession of the worst record in the Western Conference.

Sacramento nearly came back at the end of the game thanks to a "Hack-a-Shaq" strategy from Coach Malone, getting the 20 point deficit down to as little as 5 points.  The strategy resulted in Utah taking 53 free throws, the most by any team this season.

Rookie Ben McLemore had his second good game in a row, scoring 14 points on 6-12 from the field to go with a career-high 9 rebounds and 2 assists.  McLemore looked confident both in shooting his shot and attacking the basket.

For the opponent's perspective, visit SLC Dunk.

P.S. For you night owls, the Kings will be releasing something very cool at midnight tonight.  I can't say what it is, but if you're up late, you're in for a treat.  We will have full coverage on it in the morning.
