Music blared from a small boom box just inside the Sacramento Kings locker room Sunday night. The vibe was good. Why wouldn't it be? The team had just beat the Toronto Raptors for its third win in a row only a week after a team meeting was held to hash out the frustrations of the season. The meeting, which included players, coaches and the front office, was called after the Kings had piled up a 1-7 record.
Injuries and some disjointed play had hit a team that was still getting to know each other.
