An angry Grizzlies team came in and took out their frustrations on a hapless Kings squad that still looks like it needs major work playing together
When DeMarcus Cousins was announced to miss this game, many were still optimistic that the Sacramento Kings' newfound depth would be able to tide them over until the All-Star comes back.
Welp.
It was same-old, same-old. No Cousins meant that not only did the offense die for unacceptably long periods of time, the defense was unable to corral anything the Grizzlies were trying to do. It seems that the Kings' strategy was to take away threes and points around the rim, which led to one open midrange jumper after another.
