Of course we, being the Kings, had to somehow turn the final seconds of this moment of high epicness into a fiasco, as with 6 seconds to go for some reason Rondo refused to just throw the ball in to several Kings standing right in front of him, perhaps looking for one more statpadding score/assist? Dunno, made no sense. Then an over eager ref decided he had to get his whistle's worth and blow one more whistle for a violation rather than just letting it end, then both Cuz and Rondo mocked said official by clapping for his call, at which point said official threw Rondo out of the game and gave Cousins a critical technical that may result in an automatic suspension and him having to miss Friday's game. Which of course would help a tank I suppose.

Stats: 32min 29pts (11-18, 1-1, 6-9) 10reb 4ast 5stl 4blk 5TO
Summary:just confidently slapped around the Wiz bigs from the start, after half focus shifted to the other things, and really filled the statsheet with boards, blocks, steals.
Cousins ( ) --
Stats: 17min 5pts (2-5, 1-2, 0-0) 0reb 0ast 0stl 0blk 0TO
Summary:statline doesn't look great, but felt solid and tried to bring some defense to the proceedings.
Curry ( ) --

Stats: 31min 13pts (5-8, 1-3, 2-2) 4reb 10ast 1stl 1blk 2TO
