A game of runs, they call it. It would be hard to find a game that better embodies this adage than today’s Kings game against the Clippers. At the end, a clutch Blake Griffin fadeaway with Willie Cauley-Stein draped all over him was the difference between the two teams, with the Kings falling to 5-14 after a 97-95 loss.
The Kings came out of the gates with hot shooting led by Skal Labissiere and Zach Randolph, who scored 7 points each in the first quarter to power the starting group.
