How is this happening?

They're winning with unselfish play and trust in each other. They're winning with pace. They're winning with the mindset that they can win. And yes, they're winning with defense.
Is it sustainable? It's the culture; it's not a fluke. It's what Vlade has been working towards since he took the job. We Kings fans are gonna have a whole lot of fun.
And thanks for the good wishes. You're welcome to hop aboard our bandwagon (even on a nightly basis) any time you like.

Young guys are making strides and the FO added some quality pieces in the off-season with Bjelica, Yogi, Bagley, and it looks like Troy Williams might be something too. Joerger decided that with all the youth we have to run to be successful and it's working. The thing about running a lot is that you have to have guys with a decent b-ball IQ and Vlade and Co. have been looking for that and now it's starting to work together. It sure is fun.
Kings are playing confident ball, they've got an idea of what they want to do and they know how fast they want to do it.
Teams are not having any success disrupting their rhythm, when they slow down it's almost always self-inflicted.
the hot start can be attributed to good old execution. There's been some exellent close to 1st halves which have carried over to big 3rd Q's.

I actually predicted 25 wins, hope dead wrong! This Vlade project going forward looks very promising, at least so far. If get to say 32 wins that would be 5 win improvement over last season and I'll just sigh, whew, happy. Any more than that jump for joy like almost 1999 when Kings dawn of Glory Years jumped up to over 40 wins after winning 27 in 1998-99.
This is what happens when you got 2 Serbians on a Kings team. Serbians have some way of adding alcohol to the water that folks won't even know it's there. So basically, the Kings are playing "drunk" every night and unleashing the potentials they never know they had. Just like me I can turn into a genius after a few rounds of whisky. 
Shortly after the team moved and before the Millers owned the team the team was up for sale because it was losing money and salt lake was a tiny market. Larry Miller ( rumor has it that if the young Jazz didn't make the playoffs that year he would have defaulted on his loan and lost his dealerships) stepped up against all odds and saved the Utah Jazz.
