Sacramento got off to a cold start in the first half, but only trailed by three thanks to a good performance by Bogdan Bogdanovic. The third quarter rolled around and the Kings outscored the Blazers 35-21 to take a double-digit lead going into the final 12 minutes. Of course, Damian Lillard and company made things interesting but a defiant Bogi and his crew sealed the game with big baskets late in the fourth to take a 107-99 win! Onto the Lakers.
Quarterly Recap
