On Saturday, the Sacramento Kings did what good teams are supposed to do against an injured opponent — take advantage. With the Los Angeles Clippers missing stars Kawhi Leonard and Paul George and solid role players Norman Powell and Luke Kennard, the Kings dominated from the opening tip on Saturday in LA, winning 123-96.
Sacramento’s offense continued to be elite on Saturday, but the story was their improved defense. The Kings did a great job of rotating out to shooters and overall just making things difficult for a Clippers team that was missing a ton of offensive punch.
