[Game] 39/82: Kings vs. Rockets 11 JAN 2026, 6pm PT/9pm ET

[Capt. Factorial]

How in the actual world is an obvious shooting foul overturned?

I mean, what even are the rules other than "Screw the Kings"?

 

[HndsmCelt]

Monk was in danger, being yelled at for not defending, and they’re calling a foul?

 

[Capt. Factorial]

This lead is definitely Kangzproof

 

[QWERTYLICIOUS]

With no poll in sight and less than an hour to game time, I have usurped Slim's role for the day. I hope he didn't have a great one lined up...!

Raynaud is just eating the Rockets alive

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Raynaud closing the show

 

[Tetsujin]

Max taking over down the stretch

 

[Krunker]

Light the beam

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Seventh double-double of the season for Raynaud.

 

[coolhandluke]

Oh Hell Yeah! Light the Beam!

Showing that team length has its limits if your center is as bad at defense as Sengun is.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Sacramento has assured itself that there is at least one western conference opponent they will not lose the regular season series to.

 

[Sluggah]

Would be feeling antsy if I were a Rockets fan

They could really use Drewkembe Eutumbo and we might be convinced to part with him for a FRP

 

[KainLear]

Wow... I walked off in the first half and never came back. Did they take down the Rockets? Did KD got ejected?

 

[LoungeLizard]

Light it!

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

That poor beam has been in a closet for a long while. Guess it still works ok

It was busy getting an upgrade...Version 2.0!!!

 

[iowamcnabb]

that push on Cardwell was the spark. A coach getting tossed kind of moment

 

[Caccia]

Not coincidentally, this was the first game since their last win, over Dallas, when the Kings scored at least 110 points. They shot 49% from the field and racked up 24 assists.

 

[HndsmCelt]

The Beam is Lit!

 

[QWERTYLICIOUS]

The Beam is Lit!

May it continue to be Lit (Forever)!

 

[The_Jamal]

21-20 for the rookie C's

 

[NewArena]

Of all the years to “own” the Rockets, i certainly didn’t think it would be the year the Kings have 9 wins near the middle of January LOL.

Method Max calmly dismantled the Rockets. I know it's easy to shoot over mannequin Sengun but the poise and mental alertness around the chaos is impressive. Dude is a bucket once he gets to his spots.

And that’s a Beam I’ll gladly enjoy

Merely antsy? It must be upsetting to see the single-digit win Kings close them out in the clutch with ease. When does the trademark on Clutch City expire? They badly need someone that can partner with KD to close out games.

They need someone who can play point guard.

It's time for a KD-Westbrook reunion.
