The Sacramento Kings (1-4) know that they need to improve their defense, and James Harden and the Houston Rockets (2-3) offense are sure to put the Kings D to the test. Tonight’s game is the first in a six game home stand, and the Kings might be in a good position to steal a win from a team many believe is a dark horse for the title.
This game is as close to a “must win game” for the Kings without being a must win game. I’m not freaking out yet about the King’s poor start, unlike a lot of chatter I’ve read on twitter.
