Tonight the Chicago Bulls finish a back-to-back set of games by meeting the Sacramento Kings at the United Center. Last night Chicago came up short in the final seconds in Denver, 111-110. Lauri Markkanen and Robin Lopez led the Bulls with 20 points apiece, while Kris Dunn added 19.
Sacramento comes to town tipping-off a four game road swing that takes them to Milwaukee tomorrow, Cleveland Wednesday and down to New Orleans a week from tonight.
The Kings are an interesting bunch in that their roster is a mishmash of greybeards and youth, highlighted by 40-year old Vince Carter (20-year NBA veteran), 36-year old Zach Randolph (17 years in the NBA), a pair of 10-year vets in George Hill and Kosta Koufos to go along with rookies De’Aaron Fox (19-years old), Justin Jackson (22-years old), Frank Mason III (23-years old) and Bogdan Bogdanovic (25-years old) as well as second-year sharpshooter Buddy Hield (23-years old).
