Kings had to fight like hell to get the 127-122 win. Keegan with 16 points, 2-4 from 3, and 4 rebounds.
They need to play hard like you said. If you look at the standings in the Western Conference, the teams are bunched up as the West got better. The Kings currently sit in the 8th spot and are only 1.5 games out of 5th. The stretch run is going to be rugged for sure.The Kings (32-23) need to get their act together over their remaining 27 games. They currently sit as the #8 seed in the West, which means if the playoffs started today, they'd be part of the play in games (#7 Suns, #8 Kings, #9 Lakers and #10 Warriors would battle it out for the #7 and #8 seeds).
In last night's game, only De'Aaron Fox (37 min) played more Kings minutes than Keegan (35 min).
