Whew, what a game. Slugfest. Next game on Friday.
With Fox out, and on the second night of a back-to-back, the Kings show up with energy and determination under Doug Christie and fight their way to victory after two overtime periods.
I caught the 4th quarter and OT’s last night. Keegan definitely hit a couple clutch shots late in the 4th.
In watching the game, it’s easy to see how it’s hard for Keegan to get into the flow of the game. 90% of the time I was watching he’d be planted in the corner, never moving more than 10 feet as DeRozan or Monk took the ball 1 v. 1 from the top of the key. I understand that’s how the game is played these days. But it has to be a little disengaging for him to just stand there and hope someone passes to him. He did do a nice job of crashing to boards once a shot went up.

Having DeRozan join the Kings has definitely not helped Murray. It’s making him play out of position, as he’s better as a wing than a big. How unfun it would be to watch DeRozan dribble the air out of the ball. Would like to see Murray wind up in Houston somehow, they need a sniper.
The Celtics welcome the Kings to the Garden for a 6:30 PM game tonight on LP. This will be an important test for Sac, and should give us a good indication as to where they are, from a competitive standpoint. Hoping Keegan continues to shoot with confidence.
Is fox going to play vs Celts?
As a Bulls fan I like Demarr.
He is a clutch bucket-getter.
But might crimp KM.
Tonite could be tough.
KM guarding eastern conf player of month tatum?
Good luck Keegan.

As of 1:30 PM Central, Fox has been ruled out for tonight.
Kings win @ Boston 114-97. Keegan with 19/3 and 3 blocks. Nice outing for Devin Carter with 11/4. Good job guys!
Looks like Keegan has (hopefully) found his shot again. 5/8 from 3.
He also put the clamps on Tatum. Best all around game in a while.
the Kings are on a roll since Mike Brown's firing.
What has looked different or better? Did Christie make any changes or did they just need a different voice?
What stands out to me is that the players are responding to what Doug is asking from them individually and collectively. Being a former player who played 15 seasons in the NBA has helped a lot in communicating to the team what is expected from them. Plus, he shows a lot of love and respect to and for his guys, and that goes a long way.
For those who don't have League Pass, here are the highlights from tonight's game, and thanks to Sacramento Kings on Youtube.
He's come a long way in revealing his emotion.
An early game tomorrow for Sac as they are in Chi-Town to play the Bulls @ 2:30 PM on LP, or if your cable/internet carries the Bulls games.
Kings take down the Bulls in Chicago 124-119. Keegan with 14/5 with 2 ast, a stl, and a block. Kings now 20-19. Good job! 7 wins in a row!
Completely different team. Maybe that coaching change was needed after all.
DC keeping things simple. Seems to be working. Let them play to their strengths and abilities. From SI:

Keegan Murray Finding His Rhythm Amid Kings Winning Streak
After an up-and-down offensive season, Keegan Murray is hitting his stride during the Kings winning streak.
In the FWIW category, it's worth noting that the Kings are now in the top 10 of the NBA's Power Rankings at #10. Will they sustain their win streak with a game coming up tomorrow evening in Milwaukee? Can Keegan continue to further raise his 3 point numbers?
Keegan vs AJ Green & Liam Robbins which leads into the Hawks vs Trojans. Good night of hoops.
Kings beaten soundly 130-115 with Monk out tonight with a groin injury. Keegan had 11 points and 7 rebounds. DeMar had 28/6/4.
Sac welcomes the Houston Rockets to G1C for a 9 PM matchup tonight on TNT. Houston is on the second night of a back-to-back, so this is a great opportunity for the Kings to capitalize.
That 2nd three was over a player that I wish Sac had: Derrick White.
