That’s just going to happen when Huerter is playing most of his minutes next to Fox (who’s turned himself into a really solid defender this season) and Mitchell. The thing that helps with Huerter is that he’s big enough to play up so the bigger wings and forwards can’t switch hunt like guards can.
Plus Huerter tries on defense and makes a few plus plays a night, which is more than can be said for the guy he replaced (Chavano Hield).

.500 not ideal, but I think the Kings keep answering the question of "When will the other shoe drop?" At this point, I don't think it's going to. They had a rough little 4-game stretch with bad losses to WAS/CHA and then blowing that lead vs DEN. But then you come back with a massive win vs DEN where Jokic drops 40 and then beat UTA in a super up-tempo/high scoring shoot-out.
This team still has holes in the rotation, but for the first time in 16 years, I think we can actually say we're a deserving playoff team that has a great shot to be a 5-6 seed if we continue our current rate of play. Not "if everyone lives up to their potential and plays better".

Nail-biter.......neither team played defense particularly well....completely a 50/50 game - Kings had a couple chances to break it open but obliged the Jazz with sloppy play......Kings better 3 pt shooting neutralized by the Jazz parade to the FT line...3 - yes, 3 dumb three-point shot fouls plays resulting in 8 pts. Sabonis should just pull the trigger on the 3 point shot every time left alone - he's very accurate - simple.
When the Kings were on a tear early, they would blow teams out having 7 player in double figures - that offense has fallen off, and they are escaping with wins lately. Monk back to a forgettable game but luckily Huerter stepped up as the 3rd scorer.
WTF is up with Terrance Davis out of the rotation competely?!

On the replay on that possession, even though Fox short-armed his shot, he deserves alot of credit for mixing it up with guys who have 8" on him ....his all-out try for the offensive rebound helped keep the ball alive for the winning shot. Had he not done that, the Jazz would've secured the rebound and likely end-of-story
My wife and I were there.
Never heard a game louder or for a longer period of time. Ever.
Next best was against Utah in 1999 when Todd Fuller went to the FT late in the game. He had no chance.
Honorable mention goes to the Celtics game at SAC in 1986. Larry Bird missed 2 FT’s late because he thought the building was going to collapse from the noise. I wasn’t at ARCO for that one, but I did see it on TV.
