Tonight’s matchup against the Washington Wizards was the Kings’ third game in four days. The Kings played Minnesota on Friday and Toronto on Sunday, with the games standing in stark contrast to one another.
After the loss to Minnesota, Coach George Karl questioned the team’s professionalism and effort in a sluggish start against the Timberwolves. The team seemed to respond to Karl’s challenge with a win that was earned through a spirited effort and a strong start against Toronto.
With the Sacramento Kings playing the second night of a back-to-back, and the inconsistent road trip they’ve experienced so far, it was unclear which team would show up for the guys in purple and black as they took on the Wizards.
