If you could rank preseason games by importance, the Kings played their most important preseason game of 2019 Monday night in Utah. After back-to-back difficult-to-analyze games against the Indiana Pacers in India, and a blowout home win over the Phoenix Suns, the playoff-hopeful Kings finally had a normal road test against a very good Utah Jazz team, and based on the final score, box score, and grainy, muted feed I was subject to last night, the Kings aced the test with an impressive 128-115 preseason win.

For some context, this looks better than the feed I watched last night, so if this isn’t the best recap you’ve ever read, my apologies. Did I mention there was so no sound?

Side note: It bums me out that we can’t get full broadcasts of Sacramento Kings preseason basketball.

Anyway, here’s some bulleted notes:
