Mister Slim Says:
Like, seriously, how hard was that?
Despite losing, Sacramento played arguably its most entertaining game of 2026, as the kids played almost the entire second half, and were within one possession in the final seconds. Kings are back at it for the second half of a home back-to-back in the James Harden Invitational. The Clippers and Cavaliers swapped guards a couple nights ago and, while LA didn't need Darius Garland to beat Sacramento, Cleveland may have James Harden available to play tonight. No idea whether Kenny Atkinson can make Ballhog Equilibrium 2.0 work, but they certainly have no shortage of scorers. Without Evan Mobley, the Cavs will be missing the hub of their defense, but they are still a strong regular season team, and are likely to give the Kings a hard time.
(Keep) Playing the kids.
