Where: AT&T Center, San Antonio, TX

The Kings are coming off of a huge victory over the Heat and we can't let them upset us tonight.

Go Spurs!!

I'm glad Kings are a young team that don't know how to close games.

Score was 102-102 with about 2 minutes left in the game. Duncan scored on a hook shot and made it 104-102.

Then Demarcus Cousins unleashed his best impression of a young Grant Hill one on one face up drive that ends with a turnaround baseline jumper that didn't hit the rim.

Then Parker scored. 106-102.

Then Isaiah Thomas brings up the ball, didn't pass it once, basically dribbled for the whole 20-22 seconds trying to create that ends up with a badly missed shot that was way too short and hit the front of the rim.

Young team tried to play hero ball.

The announcers were touching on it, everything seemed so rushed tonight. Definitely not our best game but glad we could get a W nonetheless. Thomas/Gay/Williams/Cousins is a super athletic young core for the Kings and if they get it figured out and learn to play system ball then they could be dangerous in the future.

Starters crapped the bed again and the bench came to the rescue. Manu was massive and Diaw was outstanding.

[Donald Kaufman]

Well we had no business winning that one. We sucked for most of the game.

Tony and Manu with some big shots late. I'm loving TP's 3-ball this year. Think he shot take more? They always look like they're going in.

Splitter was great as well. I liked his D on Boogie. He was very physical with him, and I thought the refs were a bit harsh on him. That's Joey Crawford for ya.

I am in awe of Cousins every time I watch him play. Dude is just a beast. I know he's got some attitude issues, but I think he'll figure it out eventually. I'm hoping he turns it around as he matures, like Z-Bo when he went to Memphis. Or he could stay a petulant manchild like Derrick Coleman, and never really put it together. I'm hoping the latter, cause the talent is there.

I missed the game entirely

I agree with you on Cousins. The guy is the best center in the league only he doesn't know it. He needs a coach that he respects who can push him without pissing him off.

Manu had 28, that's good to see.

[Nolan]

Good to see Baynes get some minutes as well.

[Donald Kaufman]

Yep, anything that keeps Ayres off the court is fine by me.
