Best thing about the win...no more reading pages of negative posts for at least a couple days

Big play by Barnes on offense. Bigtime D by Holmes to seal the deal.

Luke Walton is the greatest Walton of them all

 

[King Baller]

Kings get off the schneid!!!!!

 

[Elektrik]

wow! Feels like the league wanted us to win one. Couple of fouls at the end. Let the 100 mill man play at the end. He’s got to fight through this slump. He’s trying to live up to the big contract. Too much ISO BALL. Coach sucks. We won in spite of him.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Let’s gooooooo. Feels great to finally get a W.

No love for John-Boy?

 

[gunks]

SUCK ON THAT, CRIPPLING KINGS RELATED DEPRESSION! WHERE VF21 AT TO CELEBRATE WITH US?!!!

 

[Kingz19]

Ariza played really good defense tonight.
That’s how you get 32 minutes without attempting a shot and Bojan was nowhere to be seen in the fourth

 

[burekijogurt]

They needed this. And its good that it was a hard fought one with everyone contributing at one time or another and everyone playing hard. Its a good bonding experience to build on.

Bill would like to have a word* with you.


*and by "word" I mean a long rambling story, full of insane hyperbolic references with no relation to basketball.

 

[Heuge]

Biggest win of the year so far

 

[Volblorx8634]

It's about freakin' time. It feels great to get the W, especially against a team like the Jazz. The crowd's energy was electric. I hope this turns things around for the team

That said, it felt like we were lucky to win this one. So many unforced turnovers, horrible execution and clock management down the stretch, and no ball or player movement (what is up with this hero ball?). They're nowhere near where they need to be.

 

[Kings Faithful]

Didnt watch the game but saw the last 17 seconds. Good to see a win but can someone comment on whether we looked like we ran a coherant offense with purpose or if it was just more of the same iso hero ball?

 

[tastyburger]

That was a bigger relief than going to the chiropractor...

 

[KingKong]

The effort was outstanding, not so much the offense. Nevertheless, a great win! 1-0 in November. Let's keep this thing going.

 

[sactowndog]

God it feels good to get a win and to watch James destroy Luka in overtime. The world is just a little better place tonight.

Best post of the night

 

[Sactown ExPat]

I’m happy about the win. So glad to see the team come through. But, I have a sneaking feeling that Buddy is a 6th man on a Luke Walton team. My man Buddy’s defense is so bad. So bad. And the handle that leads to poor shot selection...Buddy, my dude, why? Tighten the handle, my guy. Come on.

 

[KingKong]

And can we please get Yogi to spell mins for Fox??? Corey Joesph is atrocious!

 

[burekijogurt]

God it feels good to get a win and to watch James destroy Luka in overtime. The world is just a little better place tonight.

wait, one of the best ever needed overtime to beat a 20 year old?

EDIT: their stats for this game look eerily similar.

You obviously haven't seen he-who-shall-not-be-named's stats for the night.

 

[ridingagain]

Great to see the players excitement and effort. Despite a miserable first week, they seem to genuinely support each other with no finger pointing. Let’s hope this win turns into some positive momentum.

 

[Suicide King]

Oh Snap we won vs Utah!? Just got home. Wow. Happily surprised. Need one. ONE, just as a start hehe.

Hate I missed it.

wow

Now i REALLY can’t wait to watch this one

 

[NME]

I'll take it.

Iso. I mean 15 assists/17 turnovers tells you what you need to know about the flow of the offense.

Kings had a sustained defensive effort for the whole game. That is why the offensive lapses/droughts didn’t kill them.

 

[NewArena]

Idk what the end looked like, but from what i can tell, Fox is a huge reason we got this one
