Kings Offense Since the Trade Deadline

And then, of course, there’s the Sacramento Kings, who are second in the league in offensive efficiency since Feb. 26 with 110.3 points per 100 possessions, just a shade behind Miami’s 110.4 and ahead of the Thunder’s 109.5 for that time period. (The Kings also lead the NBA in points per game (109.6) for that span.)

No, it’s not an April Fools' joke. It’s the same Sacramento Kings who, you may recall, were universally ridiculed at the trade deadline for shipping rookie lottery pick Thomas Robinson to the Houston Rockets (along with Francisco Garcia and Tyler Honeycutt) in exchange for Patrick Patterson, Cole Aldrich and Toney Douglas.

good read, lots of stats

The defense also got better, which is a surprise. I'm not surprised about the offense because we all knew these players can score, I'm more impressed with the teamwork/assist.

Yeah the teamwork is a big deal.

The D has improved a little, but that's not saying much. It's still nowhere near a level that will result in consistent wins. Douglas has definitely made a difference there though.

I think some of this has to do with our youth and young legs. Combine that with varied use of our fellas earlier in the season leading to less fatigue now. Other teams are getting somewhat tired, or coasting to either the playoffs or the lottery.

Funny what happens when you start putting in the right kind of role players around your core.

Not a surprise that around the same thing happened last year when Isaiah got the full reigns at PG if you remember - and that it's suddenly happening now around that time too.
