There were some intriguing questions asked, answered and avoided Sunday afternoon as the Kings opened a four-game home stand against the Chicago Bulls.
Do the Kings still consider themselves playoff contenders despite the air of resignation around the team right now? Will their position in the playoff race influence the decision to start rookie big men Marvin Bagley III or Harry Giles III in the final weeks of the regular season? And was coach Dave Joerger behind the push to acquire Bulls guard Zach LaVine, a player the Kings tried to lure away from Chicago last summer?
These were all topics of discussion following a 129-102 victory over the Bulls.
