Kings 113, Thunder 103: Tanks For the Win, OKC

Tyrese Haliburton had a career-high 17 assists and the Kings won their second game at home in a row.

The Sacramento Kings won their 20th game of the season on Saturday night, defeating the Oklahoma City Thunder 113 to 103. Every Kings starter finished with double digits, led by Harrison Barnes’ 24 points.

This wasn’t a victory to be particularly proud of, as the Kings narrowly managed to avoid giving up multiple double digit leads despite the Thunder missing their two best players in Shai Gilegeous-Alexander and Luguentz Dort.  With just 3:50 left in the 3rd quarter, the game was tied up at 77 and was up for grabs.  The Kings responded well for once however, and managed to close out the 3rd quarter on a 12-2 run to take a 10 point lead into the 4th quarter.  Sacramento continued to extend the lead to as much as 17 points after Chimezie Metu scored with 9:14 left to make it 98-81.  Oklahoma City would respond with a 9-0 run of their own to cut it back to an 8 point game, but the Kings were able to hold them at bay and seal the win.

Harrison Barnes scored 24 points to go with 9 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals, and honestly probably should have had an even better game than he did.  At times it looked like he was toying with the Thunder, and it seemed as if he could get whatever he wanted.

The starting backcourt of Davion Mitchell and Tyrese Haliburton continued to play well in De’Aaron Fox’s absense.  Mitchell finished with 17 points on 7-15 shooting and Haliburton only scored 13 points but had a career-high 17 assists to go with 6 rebounds.  Mitchell struggled from three, hitting just 3 for 9, but did hit a big shot with about 2 minutes left to extend Sacramento’s lead to 12 points.

Maurice Harkless was the engine that got the Kings going early, and he finished with an 18 points, 11 rebound double-double. Harkless shot 4-8 from downtown, one three pointer off from his career-high.  He also had a very cool double-clutch dunk early on.

Richaun Holmes also had a nice game after struggling recently, finishing with 14 points on 6-7 shooting.  Also, note to the NBA: please stop hitting Richaun Holmes in the face. The man plays for the Kings, he suffers enough.  Tonight he caught an Aleksej Pokusevski elbow to the face, and that’s one bony elbow.

Sacramento’s bench didn’t particularly shine in this one.  Buddy Hield and Chimezie Metu both scored 9 points and Damian Jones added in 7.  Hield in particular had a couple of blatantly bad turnovers and only played 20 minutes.  For better or worse, I get the sense that the Hield-era in Sacramento is nearing its end.

Josh Giddey led the way for the Thunder with 24 points to go with 8 assists and 4 rebounds. For a 19 year old kid, he’s incredibly poised already.  He just needs to add a three point shot to his game and he will be deadly (he shot just 1-5 from three and some were bad misses).

The Kings now have a couple days off before a back-to-back at home against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

I hate that we’re rooting for losses before the All Star Break… Again…

Damn we needed to pull out this L. This team is so frustrating in its inability to do literally anything right for years upon years.

With every win you can practically hear Vivek screaming about that coveted, elite play in spot.

I guess Fox is ducking the rest of the league??

Such a weird story. The least negative variation would be that they shut him down for a trade (setting aside what that trade would look like).

Either the FO/analytics department and the coaching staff aren’t working together properly, or the anaylitics department isn’t analysing the data correctly, IMO.

But if people around here have been pointing out the obvious benefits of Moe on team play and the FO/coaching staff can’t see it, it’s not good.

LOL. is 9-9 some sort of godsend analytical breakthrough that the team is missing? A few games ago he was 7-8. If he had started during our whole 7 game skid, he would not have made a difference and would likely be 9-15 as a starter.

With our FO we will trade fox for Randle and then Buddy for a ransoms 4/5 and be left with 2 guards and Harkless for rest of the season.. maybe even trade Barnes for a center or future draft pick and then have only King and Harkless as SF/Wings… go big or go home! NBA 1.0

You don’t trade Fox for Randle straight across. You add one or two players and get one or two back. If I could trade Holmes and two other players and a first to the Pacers for Turner which would be better for our assets than Sabonis Playing Randle,who scored 32 and had 16 rebounds last night next to Turner you would have a great backcourt. I would’n trade Barnes, he is two valuable and would play the 3 .

Moving Buddy for a prospect, pick, expirings, or even smaller contracts would be a win for Monte. My fingers are crossed that Cleveland buys, but I think they want more of a combo guard. Schroeder or Dragic to the Cavs makes so much more sense for them.

I would trade Buddy to the Lakers for Nunn and THT. Everyoneis down on THT but I think if you get him out of LA and bring him to the Kings would be better forTHT. Nunn would be your backup to Mitchell

That is not a legal trade that can be made. It would have to be THT, Nunn, plus 3 of the minimum salary Lakers to make that deal work money wise. And I don’t know whether the league would allow the Lakers to go down to 11 players on their roster to legally make that trade.

No, doesn’t work that way. Unless the Lakers are moving Westbrook somewhere or a 3rd, or even 4th team, is involved there really is no way to send Buddy to L.A.

I think Cleveland is making a mistake but I’m not surprised. I wonder what the price is for LaVert ends up costing them.

A 1st and 2 2nds? I don’t love LaVert that much but I get it. I’d rather have Buddy if I were the Cavs but I’m not them.

I’ll wait to see the full deal, but LeVert makes some sense on a team that need a secondary playmaker next to Garland and obviously covets positional size and length.

Now I see it, I would have happily taken that for Buddy IF it were on the table. As hobbyists it’s always hard to know what actually is and isn’t on the table.

Cavs sent protected first and a second (and an injured Rubio contract) for Lavert. Cavs get a guy who drives to the hole- they lacked that. and a secondary ball handler. Buddy is none of those things.

Sexton is a RFA. I don’t think he will be back with the way Garland is playing. The Cavs just go bigger and longer with LeVert joining the group.

Also read the raptors want a center. Rumor is they want Poeltl back from spurs. Spurs supposedly asking for a solid young player and a 1st in return. Holmes is way better than Poeltl! So curious what the market value for Holmes is. By the sound of what the spurs want for Poeltl it would be/could be/should be a really good return if Monte was bold enough to trade Holmes. Just sayin (traumatized kings fan)

I think that’s an accurate assessment. I personally don’t want either one as a starter. I think they are both high volume backups on good teams. If we can move Holmes for a late first rounder and an expiring contract, I’d take that deal. I don’t think there’s a dramatic drop off playing Jones and Queta. I go young at that spot hoping for a pleasant surprise and utilize the draft capital and cap space for other assets.

I think if you could trade Holmes and two other second tier players like Metu, Davis(out this year) Harkless,or Bagley and a first you could get Turner. He would play the five.As of now he wants to get more involved in the offense. Everyoneknows he can rebound, protect the rim, and shoots a pretty good three .

Agree. He looks good in a uniform but has always been an underachiever. If all these guys on Indiana like Turner were good they’d be winning. Unlike the Kings, Indiana has figured it out that their roster is not that good and they already made one good deal for LaVert. I suspect they will get a lot more for Turner than he’s worth.

Poeltl is better, younger, does more of the things teams generally want from their Center, and is cheaper. What does Holmes achieve for a team with Siakam, Anunoby, Boucher and Barnes?

Trae’s hawks are a 10 seed. Luka has the Mavs at 5, and he needs to prove longevity and the willingness to put down the Twinkie. Donavan Mitchell is a leader on a legit contender. Tatum and Brown are legit too. Bam’s Heat are 1st in East. I think if you made teams of each of the draft classes, 2018 might be one of the worst.

I don’t get this. At best, Bagley is worth a second round pick at this point. If you don’t get that and you want him gone, cut him. Not complicated.

He rides the bench while supposedly and active participant on the team.

He rides the bench until the end of the season and they let him walk because they don’t want him anymore.

Either way…..same Marvin Bagley on the bench.

I personally would like to see the Kings publicly try to trade him. Put it all in the press. All of the teams that don’t want him. All of the horrible offers for him.

Maybe Bagley sees he is worth and steps foot on the court again to try to salvage his career?

Try and add him with other players to get what you might want.

Has anyone checked to see if Monte is awake?

It’s Sunday. But he is aggressive and tireless.

This is the type of deal the Kings should be making. I would have done this with the Cavs for Barnes. You get both draft capital and cap space.

LeVert goes to the Cavaliers with a 2022 second-round pick via Miami for Ricky Rubio‘s expiring contract, a lottery-protected 2022 first-round pick and two second-round picks, sources said.

Prediction for Thursday post-deadline: Monte McNair “committed to winning with our current group,” deals on the table “just didn’t work for us.”

if That happens all you will read in my comments is how he is a complete fucking joke that’s simply collecting a pay check. I mean, good for him I guess, if you’re cool with everyone thinking you’re a complete fucking joke.

Yeah, are teams starting to make deals and then get out of the market? That might be a problem if you actually want to change anything.

Hopefully it’s a sign that the pacers are willing to move for less than originally was leaked (good prospect and 1st for levert)

Lavert is gone. Go for Turner.

That also assumes that deal is there for the Kings. It may not be.
