It was a nice change to see the negative spotlight shined away from the Philadelphia 76ers and the Ben Simmons situation Monday night. The Sixers, who were without their entire starting five from last season, beat the Kings in their own arena with a very convincing 102-94 final score. This prompted quite a bit of backlash from not just the Sacramento Kings fanbase, but also from the national media.
The Kings losing at home to Philly’s backups is an utter embarrassment. Luke Walton had to go but that won’t solve their issues.
