The Pacers (13-9) have a chance to come away with winning Western Conference road trip on Saturday night. Standing in their way is a Sacramento Kings (10-11) team that has been surprisingly competitive through the first quarter of the season.
The Kings weren't thought to be a playoff contender in the West coming into the year, but they have exceeded expectations so far this season and are currently just a game out of a playoff spot. The biggest reason why has been the emergence of their starting backcourt.
Third-year shooting guard Buddy Hield and second-year point guard De'Aaron Fox are living up to the potential that made them both top-six picks in their respective drafts. Hield leads Sacramento at 18.4 points per game and is shooting 42.5 percent from 3-point range. Fox has taken a significant leap in his sophomore season, increasing his scoring average from 11.6 to 17.4 points per game and his assists from 4.4 to 7.6 per contest.

Evans needs to get his head right. Dribbled off his foot and followed by plowing through a pick.

Very sloppy first half, but Turner looked really solid. Evans had a good shooting first half, but it seems like he shuts his mind off for a few plays and just makes some really careless errors. One half left to go, really need this W.

got my wishes. we've gone big and Doug is in too. now if we can get to 110 first. this is too close.
edit, DC hits 3 to get to 110 but then we turn it over.

Man, the game this game ended was heartbreaking. DC turning it over, Myles giving up a crucial offensive board and Bojan missing a makeable shot
The turnovers killed us in the end, unfortunately. I'll still take 2-2 over the road trip but we had a chance to bring home a better result.
