The Sacramento Kings have been Western Conference doormats in recent seasons, frankly, but they are pretty hot these days and as a result the LA Clippers will need to be up for the challenge Sunday afternoon in another matinee game at Staples Center.
LA are coming off a somewhat chastening home loss to the Boston Celtics Friday night at home, in which the Clippers rolled for two and a half quarters before their shooting touch ran cold, and the Celtics got hot down the stretch, Jayson Tatum putting together a stellar performance to snatch a win out of the Clips’ hands.
