Here are three takeaways from the Kings’ 132-93 preseason loss to the Utah Jazz on Thursday night at Golden 1 Center.
Another slow start
The Kings are developing a bad habit of slow starts and this was the worst yet.
The Golden State Warriors outscored the Kings 10-0 to start the game and held a 39-18 lead at the end of the first quarter last week at KeyArena in Seattle. Even Maccabi Haifa, a second-division professional team from Israel, jumped to a 9-2 lead before the Kings gradually took control Monday night at Golden 1 Center.
