The Kings hung tough with the Spurs for three quarters, but fall apart in the fourth as fatigue catches up with key players
The Sacramento Kings were neck-and-neck with the San Antonio Spurs for about three quarters and some change, but fell apart in an ugly fourth quarter. Fatigue was definitely a factor for two of their key cogs; Rajon Rondo played the entire 48 minutes without either a backup or third string PG to give him a spell, and DeMarcus Cousins hadn't played in over a week. Ultimately, the only number that matters is the Kings' early season hole of 1-7.
