There might not be a nicer bunch of players in the NBA than the Kings. That’s the problem.
While generous, those good looks at the rim, dunks and wide-open shots they are offering opponents will not earn them any victories.
The Utah Jazz appreciated the Kings’ kindness on their way to a 120-105 win Wednesday night at Golden 1 Center. The Kings will now ride a six-game losing streak on their way out of town for a season-long six-game trip. Sacramento (13-31) has lost nine of its last 10 games.
“I just told them we need to play with more life, we need to play with more athleticism and we need to play with a lot more nasty,” said Kings coach Dave Joerger.
