Update: 10:30 p.m.
The Sacramento Kings and Phoenix Suns played a basketball game Tuesday night. The Suns won 114-103. The Sun hit 19 threes to the Kings 7. Phoenix also had 32 fast break points to Sacramento’s 19.
Maxime Raynaud finished with 22 points and 10 rebounds in 36 minutes. Precious Achiuwa had 18 points and 9 rebounds in 39 minutes. Nique Clifford had 10 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, and 3 steals in 39 minutes.
From Earlier Preview:
The Sacramento Kings are back in action tonight: an ungodly 11PM ET tipoff vs the Suns.
Who: Sacramento Kings (14-48) vs. Phoenix Suns (34-26)
Where: Golden 1 Center, Sacramento, CA
When: 8:00 PM PT / 11:00 PM ET
Watch: Peacock!
Peacock won’t be getting their money’s worth with this one, but basketball must be played. The Phoenix Suns are one of the NBA’s most surprising success stories this season (although they haven’t been playing their best recently), and I expect them to roll over the Kings tonight despite the fact that they will be without DeMar DeRozan’s biggest hater, Dillon Brooks.
Brooks and DeRozan have been going at it for years, and at this stage of the season, I’m searching for any subplot to make watching these games slightly more interesting. Books vs. DeRozan and a potential fight breaking out is all I had tonight. Sorry to disappoint.
Prediction: Kings 116, Suns 99
Clippers Pacers game tomorrow will be very interesting.
The Suns had four days with no game;
Dillon Brooks remains out—such a shame!
They’re still in the running;
We’re so bad it’s stunning.
This whole Vivek era’s been lame!
+1 No Brooks—less anxiety!
Devin Booker off the injury list.
The Suns need the wins as they are 2 games behind LAL for the 6th spot. I am hoping they push LAL to the Play-In.
So… I want Phoenix to win, I want Sacramento to
lose(I can’t type that) not light the beam (easier, but not much).The 3-7 race is separated by only 4 games. With around 20 games remaining, there is plenty of room for shuffling. One of these teams (Houston, Minnesota, Denver, Lakers, Phoenix) goes on a winning or losing streak it’ll move them.
Remember when, what was it ten or twelve years ago when… wait!? That was 2023 and 2024? – when you looked at the bunched records and wondered, hoped, feared that every game was a chance to move up or down in your playoff standings and opponent?
Now it’s just lottery odds and wishing to lose every damn game so you don’t pick worse than 5th when the basketball gods blow their nose on your sleeve of hope and drop you out of the top 3 you don’t drop too low.
New girlfriend got free loft tickets, yippee? I never spend money there, so ethically I’m good. But WOW there are so many unsold tickets on TM.
But the game’s on Peacock so no Kings broadcast team!!!
ugh
Yeah, I can’t sell mine at cost. Going or giving them away.
Watching these last 20 gms is gonna be tough….
Man, Grant Hill and the other opening guy broke the Kings down better in a very short period of time than anyone who works on our network.
Talked about the young talent on the Kings, how they’re moving towards giving the young guys more time and just left it at that. No BS about the vets.
Crowd size was jarring when they turned the lights on after the national anthem.
Kings need to increase ball movement on offense big time.
OMFG this game is taking forever.
You are not obligated to watch the whole game, you know, right?
You aren’t ? Wow, thanks . March / April more fun now .
So gross watching russ get 30+ minutes while carter and hayes just sit on the bench instead of at least seeing what they can do with extended run
Didn’t catch the game. How’d Lavine do?
He didn’t miss a shot or get blown by on defense.
Great Success!
Max is looking like the real deal and Nique looks great when he’s aggressive but his longball isn’t falling much. Love his defense though.
P.S. The retro NBC graphics and minimal overlays during the broadcast were “chef’s kiss”. Also, Grant and Noah were a goofy but solid duo.
