Well, the streak was bound to be snapped at some point. After the beam was lit for seven straight games, it definitely needed a break so that it wouldn’t burn out. And after a long night in which they trailed throughout the game, the Sacramento Kings gave it one, as they fell to the Atlanta Hawks, 115-106.
Before I dive into all the negatives from tonight, there were a couple positives worth highlighting.
The first is rebounding. Led by Domantas Sabonis, who finished with 14, the Kings — who were ranked 26th in rebounding before tonight — actually won the boards.
