The road swing continues for the Sacramento Kings tonight, as they visit the Boston Celtics for the first time this season.
Their meeting comes several months from their last meeting in the Las Vegas Summer League championship game, a contest that in hindsight had almost no translation into the regular season, but gave the Kings something to smile about in the summertime.
It’s been a disappointing season, there’s no way around it. But in tonight’s opposition there are several parallels that can be drawn around two young cores and their abilities to perform at a high level.
