IST Quarterfinals: New Orleans Pelicans at Sacramento Kings, 12/4/2023, 7pm Pacific 10pm Eastern (TNT)

The Pels junkball death lineup destroyed the Kings in that stretch.

 

[Insomniacal Fan]

...And JaVale taketh away

 

[Bfreeman]

No worries gonna be a long night. Loved the hockey check Javale laid on Zion, that caught him off guard

 

[fansinceday1]

That lead disappeared quick

 

[iowamcnabb]

Well they better figure out how to tighten up the handles. We aren’t going to shoot those type of percentages all night.

 

[Kingz19]

Fox 4 turnovers in that quarter

 

[Capt. Factorial]

We had a 13-point lead at the 3:23 mark

 

[est.1999]

That was the weirdest collapse I’ve seen in a long time. Fox forgot how to dribble and we’re fouling so much.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Looks like the king's got their offense cooking into high gear and forgot about taking care of the ball. I think they'll be okay they just need to settle down

 

[sauce-26]

NOP is scrappy. They arent gonna roll over thats for sure

 

[SacTownKid]

It's the matchup. The Pels put Zion out there at C with a bunch of athletic wings. Very hard for the Kings to dribble against without getting the ball poked.

 

[206Fan]

This is not the first time we’ve given up leads late into a quarter. Lack of focus? Lack of coaching? This should’ve been an extended lead. Bad turnovers

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Have a bad feeling about this. I think it starts ugly in the 2nd.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Alvarado having a major Napolean complex really gives them an edge off the bench

 

[hrdboild]

What a bizarre quarter. Everyone but Fox was suddenly shooting lights out and then the Pels went on a huge run in 2-3 minutes fueled almost entirely by Fox's unexplainable bout of fumbleitis. It's opposite day for the Kings apparently.

 

[The_Jamal]

Seriously wtf is Fox doing?

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

That would be a foul for NOLA lol

 

[206Fan]

Take Fox out of the game. He didn’t come to play tonight

Didn’t even get back on defense and let Alvarado shoot a transition 3

can’t even make his FTs tonight either

 

[Kingz19]

Come on Fox

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Fox dude, you’re missing way too many free throws. What a lack of focus from him today.

 

[KF8]

Fox will have 10 turnovers at this rate

I mean not really. Fox is just playing like crap.

 

[DynaPamm]

Well coming into this game I was worried about Zion and stopping him and the return of CJMcCullmon—— but who knew that Alvarado was going to drive us crazy????!!!

 

[coolhandluke]

Sasha got fouled

 

[Kingz19]

another Fox turnover

 

[The_Jamal]

How the **** is Sasha not shooting FT's???

This is disgusting

 

[HndsmCelt]

I hate whining about calls but damn that's a couple of bad ones in a row

 

[fansinceday1]

Man, the pels deflect and get to the line alot

 

[gunks]

Lol **** these refs

 

[CaliPelsFan2k23]

Where the hell is Hawkeye ? CJ taking his damn minutes smh
