It was another dismal shooting performance by Sacramento, as the team shot just 30.1% from the field, and 68.3% from the Free Throw line. The Pacers outscored the Kings in each of the first three quarters, and particularly broke out in the 3rd quarter, scoring 30 points and extending their lead to 14 going into the 4th quarter.
The Kings also forced Indiana to commit 18 turnovers, 11 of which were Kings' steals. Most of those turnovers (I'm not sure of the exact number 9 of them) occurred in the pivotal 4th quarter when Indiana couldn't figure out the Kings' zone defense.
Unfortunately for Sacramento, this home stand is very short lived, and they'll have to go back on the road for a grueling three game trip against very tough opponents. They'll need to bring the same kind of energy they displayed in tonight's 4th quarter for 48 minutes if they hope to have even a slight chance of winning any of their upcoming games.
