In one of the biggest games in the last decade and half of Sacramento Kings basketball, the starting backcourt showed up in force. The rest of the team? Not so much.129-120 to the San Antonio SpursDe’Aaron Fox and Bogdan Bogdanovic carried the team with a combined 63 points, but the Kings failed to close out on perimeter shooters, didn’t box out on the glass and when the game was on the line, the Spurs were the team that executed.
“He makes the game a lot easier for us, shooters especially, but we’ve got to be able to help him,” Bogdanovic said. “That was a good game. I’m sure he’s not happy about it.” “It’s just tough to swallow because we feel like we had a chance to win,” Fox said following the loss. “But at the end of the day, the starting group can’t start like that, having to fight back. And that fourth quarter, they just executed down the stretch better than we did.”
The Kings have an extremely difficult schedule in front of them. The Spurs have made the playoffs in 22 consecutive seasons, but they are having a down year. This was an opportunity for the Kings to keep pace with the Trail Blazers for ninth place and even pick up a game on the eighth place Grizzlies.
It’s back to the drawing board for the Kings. They have Saturday to make adjustments, but then it’s right back to the schedule on Sunday when they’ll play the Orlando Magic.During the three-game scrimmage schedule, Sacramento was slow to close out on perimeter shooters. That was the case again on Friday.
