You just knew Huerter's game winner was going in the second Murray swung him the ball. He uncharacteristically missed a big time shot, and knew he wouldn't miss 2 in a row.

Great pass by Murray too. No hesitation, knew right where to get it. Gotta love that from the rook!

Kings fans don't even dare tempt fate like that. Reverse jinx! lol.

high-key big win for us. Utah is almost certainly going to be in our orbit for playoff seeding. Having a W vs a direct competitior for playoff seeding matters a ton

Yep.Utah is not going anywhere.They are great offensively, suspect defensively (hmm sounds familiar), but offense beats defense in today's NBA.At least in a regular season.Huge win

This season is going to be so stressful. Golden state won again with no Curry, the West just won’t let up. Really great win tonight.

And moving on Fox has to start running the late offense a little better. 2nd game out of 3 that he didn't just call the same play that was dominating. Nearly cost them. If he gets mean and greedy he can be an all time great.

I’m a big time Huerter fan all of a sudden.

I knew Sabonis was good but holy CRAP. And we really got Huerter for nothing!?

passing is a weakness of his and I thought this game was his best effort in that area. Good to see

Jazz tonight

Murray has played much more confident lately even if the numbers aren't popping out. No hesitation with his shots and just making all the right reads.

welcome to the party! thank you to the hawks again for the 100th time this season

 

[NewArena]

HUGE shoutout to Keegan Murray and his understanding of the game. Didn't try and force a contested 3 from deep, immediately saw Huerter with a better look.

 

[iowamcnabb]

lauri was insane tonight. What a mess up by the Bulls

 

[NewArena]

Once Utah went up 122-121, my heart sank. The Kings of old lose this kind of game 12 times outta 10.

 

[NewArena]

Fox is soooo damn clutch

 

[206Fan]

lol I would expect nothing less from Keegan in this post-game interview

It's a make or miss affair

 

[iowamcnabb]

Sabonis has reached a level of play where he goes off for 28 points in a near triple double and doesn’t miss a shot but he still had me thinking he was playing just ok for most of the game. 7 turnovers has to be a season high. That’s how good he is right now

We will owe a pick in 2024 but hopefully it’s in the mid 20s.

Glad to see Lauri didn't kill us from 3 like i assumed he would

Yea, outside 1-7 from three shooting - he nearly perfect (15-17) from field.

He's not going to want to leave December:

21.7 PPG
14.4 RPG
7.2 APG
2.6 TOV/game (was 2.25/game before tonight's 7)
68.8% from 3 on 16 attempts
74.4% TS (BRO WHAT)
73.5% FT on 6.4 ATT

That late one was nearly a dagger. Huerter with the big answer

 

[iowamcnabb]

Hopefully Trey is ok. He had a solid game and has really developed a chemistry with Sabonis even though they don’t play a ton of minutes together

It has to be very painful to be Bulls fan these days.Vucevic trade was brutal, and not realizing what they have in Markanen even worse...

Kings end the calendar year with a winning record for the first time since 2004.

 

[reptilexcq2]

I think it's going to be tough to pull one off in Utah. I thought Brown should play Mitchell to protect the league because Jazz keep exploiting Huerter weak defense in that one stretch. Kings need to be a bit smarter. For example, 4 secs to go before Halftime, Kings' ball full court inbound, why is FOX the one inbounding the ball? He's the quickest guy on the planet, he should be catching and running to get the shot off. It's thing like that that could add up to winning, just saying...

Man I love this team. It’s almost 1am here in Ohio and will be up for awhile as it will take me some time to calm down.
But hey I will sleep in come morning so I’ll be ready for New Year’s Eve.

Be safe everyone and have a wonderful New Year’s Eve

Lyles had a huge impact in the last 2 games, especially in the 4th quarters.
