The Kings struggles with closing out games recently has been well documented, but they've been fortunate to sneak away with the victory in most of those games. Â Tonight was different however, as they let a 7 point lead with 4 minutes to go slip away and turn into a 1 point loss.

The Kings got solid raw numbers for their big three tonight with Thomas, Cousins and Gay finishing with 14, 22 and 19 points respectively, but they were very inefficient from the field. Â Cousins struggled mightily against the reigning Defensive Player of the Year Marc Gasol, shooting just 6-20. Â Gay and Cousins had a combined 11 of their shot attempts blocked.

Sacramento now gets a day off before heading to Oklahoma City.
