Boy, did the Kings need this one. After three straight humiliating defeats at home, it would have been extremely disappointing if the team had come out after three days off and laid another egg. Instead, they put together a very solid game on both ends of the floor despite playing without George Hill or Zach Randolph, and pretty much controlled this game from start to finish.
With Hill and Randolph out, Coach Dave Joerger went with an all youth starting lineup. The only rookie to come off the bench tonight was Bogdan Bogdanovic.
