The Kings dominated on Monday in part because of their success on the fastbreak.  They still managed to outscore Utah on the fastbreak (14 to 9) but when a team is allowed to (and the Jazz were allowed to) shoot that well, you can't get many fastbreak opportunities because the defense is already set.  Sacramento looked as slow and disinterested as the Mavericks team they beat two nights prior.

If anything, this game is a reminder that we can't take one or even two game sample sizes too seriously.  I'll admit that I myself got lost a little bit in the excitement of the Mavericks game.  We need to see this team play well over a period of weeks rather than days before we can truly say that they've improved.
