This game was not pretty. The Kings shot a frigid, season-low 32 percent from the floor, as a handful of players posted atrocious shooting lines. But one thing was evident. The Kings learned from their mistakes the previous night – Sacramento hit the boards hard. As a result, they had more rebounds in the first half against Houston than they did all game in Oklahoma City. The rebounding effort made up for the lousy shooting, helping the Kings to 23 more shots than Houston. Sacramento held on for a nail-biting 84-81 win against the Rockets.

On one side, you had staunch supporters, fans clinging to nostalgia who would back these players regardless of their flaws. On the other side, you had the detractors, people picking apart the players’ every move in hopes of getting them out of town.
