That’s right, the Sacramento Kings still have a mathematical chance at making the NBA playoffs, though it’s not very likely.
As of today, March 28, the Kings are 37-37 — their best record in over a decade — but are 5.5 games behind the San Antonio Spurs; 6.5 games behind the Oklahoma City Thunder and an insurmountable seven games behind the Utah Jazz, with eight games to play. So while it’s still possible, it’s incredibly unlikely — though I will not let go of the rope until I am forced to, as I’ve said on Twitter (@ARoyalPain) all month.
