I can confirm that scoring 69 in a half usually leads to a win.

Nice.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Keegan DPOG 2 steals 3 blocks. OR Laravia for bringing us out of the swamp when we were sinking.

 

[NewArena]

LIGHT IT!!!! This team is going to be SO MUCH FUN

The 20 point comeback is the largest of the season for a win for the Sacramento Kings. #LightTheBeam

Huge. A loss would have been disasterous. Way to overcome the storm and finish this.

I have hopes for this build. If anything, they’ll be fun to watch.

 

[The_Jamal]

Cool. All 3 new guys Lighting the Beam, get a chance to talk to the crowd.

 

[iowamcnabb]

How big was/is Jonas? The ability to turn to him is such a relief. No shade at Len but that felt great

 

[MizzouKing]

Zach has a lightning quick touch pass that we haven't seen here before, with Domas being the beneficiary both times he's broke it out.

 

[King-Da-Yah]

Light da bean!!!!!!!!!

Very thankful for LaRavia's minutes... You could feel the nerves building and everyone was playing tense. He single handedly got the crowd back into it

We absolutely would not have won without him tonight.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Also hats off to the coaching staff for figuring out the perfect way to keep Keon in there during the Klutch (hahahaha)

 

[coolhandluke]

Whew, that monkey is off their back at least.

Monkey is no match for bear.

 

[NewArena]

Boy am i happy for the fans leaving the arena tonight. I can only imagine the dread they felt, at least 30 different times throughout the game lmao

 

[Sluggah]

Having a bench is going to be useful.

Could not have worked better. Keon gets the huge stop on CJ with 2 minutes left. Then get DDR back in for a clutch bucket with a 1 minute left.

But again, key is getting and keeping Keon on the floor in these situations. He's not only a game-changer defensively, but his shooting and being a solid connective passer helps balance the offense too. There's 1 less fish on the floor to add confusion to these offensive sets.

 

[NiNetNiNe]

31 bench points too, finally some bench scoring.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Or Keon for existing

"shout out Keon"

 

[kingsfan_4Life]

Cool. All 3 new guys Lighting the Beam, get a chance to talk to the crowd.

hope someone posts a video of that!

 

[kingsfan_4Life]

Hopefully we will get a real nice first round pick next season. I'm excited about that.

 

[coolhandluke]

Zach with a great interview.

Really great LaVine presser going on right now.

-Talks about how the 1st unit came out flat early, unacceptable. Made it a case to start the 3rd Q, set the standard
-Says all he cares about is building cohesion and winning games. Doesn't care about getting to his averages "I've done this long enough"
-Them in transition is a strength right now while they learn how to play with each other. Need to find a way to continue to push the pace
-Keon has some of the best hands in the NBA, gets a ton of deflections and steals. His shooting doesn't get talked about enough

Smart dude. Like him a lot, seems like a real leader type.

 

[reptilexcq2]

Even though we won, I'm not confident with the starters. I'm actually more confident with the bench than starter believe it or not. Jonas play better D than Sabonis. Jake play better D than Trey Lyle. Trey should have no business of jacking up shots...and has no business of getting more minutes than Jake. Jake already shows he's a better player. He does things on the court that win games. He did more winning things on the court than Trey Lyle did combined in his entire career lol.

Looks like they might give Carter's few minutes to him, for the time being

 

[coolhandluke]

Keegan and Jake are voice twins.

Just another Laravian night.
