We took every punch the Clippers had and then out lasted them. Was this a top 25 regular season game ever?

How is it not? I think it's a lot closer to #1 than to #25.
Yikes. Bummer for KZ.

agreed. Obviously a ton of great games in the history of the game but this had everything. Superstars, big shots, defensive stands, unreal shooting, refs. Only thing that sucked is their crowd is about as spicy as vanilla pudding

Also this game thread is the largest this season aside from game one. If it remains open it is likely to surpass it.

The best part of this game was turning it around with defense in the 4th. Not something this team could have done the last 15 years.
We never truly know how many years we have left on this planet, but I find it hard to believe I'll see a better regular season game than that in my lifetime.
Top 25? More like Top 1

When did he get injured?
I have to shamefully admit that I'm watching SportsCenter just to make sure we're headlining the 11:30 broadcast.

Aboslutely. These boys deserve a lifetime supply of sauce. Luckily my nonna is a Kings fan and so the request will not go unheard. In fact she's probably already making it as I type. What a game. Just what. a. game!

Haha. After that game both teams defensive rating could take a bit of a hit….
What a bummer for KZ.
I'm not really sure. I think he had a few games that he was not active due to injury before the all star break, but I didn't keep track of his status.

The thing is the Kings were never really known for their sterling defense. Defensive versatility was supposed to be the Clipper’s calling card and the Kings just tore through them like tissue paper.

Let's not forget the best part about this historical game.... WE WON!!!!!!!!
Mentioned in a twitter convo today that Kings are 8th in the league in the 4th quarter. It's just we dig a big hole early (25/21/18/8). But it's not just the eye test that says we lock it down late.
Really p's me off over on reddit a lot of "Russ lost" "Ty Lue is a bad coach" "Clippers collapsed"
No. The Kings won this game. They won it. They overcame questionable officiating, their other all star being removed from the game in the span of 30 seconds by horrifically non-existent calls, and a few calls that deliberately tried to swing the game. Also the non-kick kick ball is what swung the game one last time until we recovered.
But WE RECOVERED. WE WON. Nobody choked. WE just WON.
