Tre Mann said he and Aaron Wiggins were talking on the bench, asking “is Shai really fast?”
Makes so much sense when you watch Shai play. He rarely looks “fast,” but he gets by guys so easily with his change of speeds. – 11:06 PM James Ham @James_HamNBA
“I just wanted to be aggressive on the offensive end, go out there and make plays and show them that this opportunity wasn’t going to be a whiff in the air and go out there and produce for the team. And that’s what I did.” -Trey Lyles – 11:03 PM Rylan Stiles @Rylan_Stiles
Tre Mann said Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s pace is “great” – 11:03 PM Rylan Stiles @Rylan_Stiles
Tre Mann said “it’s amazing what can do. How he do it? I don’t know.” – 10:59 PM Brandon Rahbar @BrandonRahbar
Daigneault on playing SGA with 5 fouls: “When you take guys off the court with fouls, every minute they’re off the floor, you’re fouling them out. There’s no guarantee the player fouls out.”
Wish Mark would’ve shared that with Billy in Game 6 when Robes sat while Klay went nuts. – 10:52 PM Rylan Stiles @Rylan_Stiles
Mark Daigneault has a great philosophy on playing guys in foul trouble as he did with SGA tonight “When you take guys off the court with fouls, every minute they’re off the floor, you’re fouling them out… There’s no guarantee that the player fouls out.” – 10:47 PM Sean Cunningham @SeanCunningham
Alvin Gentry opens his postgame presser by acknowledging tonight’s shooting in Sacramento.
“It’s just hard to understand, impossible to comprehend. We’ll be praying for them.” – 10:38 PM James Ham @James_HamNBA

This was the Kings’ second road win since Dec. 1. 2-16 over the stretch after starting 6-6 on the road. – 10:29 PM Brandon Rahbar @BrandonRahbar
SGA is a 23 year old All-Star talent & one of the best scorers in the NBA.
Josh Giddey is a 19 year old ROTY candidate & one of the best passers in the NBA.
Adding a Chet, Jabari, Ivey, Banchero, AJG or Sharpe would be be an incredible core trio after only year 2 of a rebuild. – 10:29 PM Dave Mason @DeuceMason
Kings are now 20-11 when they score 110+ or more.

Needing a win every game out to climb back in the hunt, the Kings walked into OKC and struggled early. Midway through the third, the Kings looked like they were in trouble, and then they weren’t. Here are 6 quick thoughts as the Kings pick up a 131-110 win. – 10:25 PM Oklahoma City Thunder @okcthunder

Kings win and make up half a game on the 10th seed.
Love to see the Kings with 6 double-figures scorers (Fox, Lyles, Barnes all over 20), and the adjustments in the 2nd half that led to the dominance this team is capable of against OKC. – 10:22 PM Tom Orsborn @tom_orsborn
Spurs fall, 118-105. Morant finished with a franchise-record 52 points for the Grizzlies, who have won a franchise-best 5 in a row over the Spurs.
Spurs return to San Antonio after going 4-4 on the rodeo road trip. They face Sacramento on Thursday night at the AT&T Center. – 10:21 PM Tony Mejia @MejiaDinero
De’Aaron Fox & Domantas Sanonis go OVER on their props, as does #SacramentoProud & #ThunderUp so we’ll close 6-2 (+9.55u) in #NBA on $9 Monday at @WagerTalk, which is having a meet-and-greet, I’m reading…hmmm..so tempting.. – 10:21 PM Sean Cunningham @SeanCunningham

There’s no reason other Kings players can’t play as hard defensively as Davion Mitchell does, other than they just don’t want to put in the effort. – 9:55 PM Rob Perez @WorldWideWob

If the Kings were to finish the season overall struggling like this with their new Fox/Sabonis core, but they had top-5 draft odds, would you feel better than Fox & Sabonis looking great together but with best odds at the 9th or 10th pick? – 9:02 PM Jon Hamm @JonMHamm

Kings in the penalty in less than 5 minutes in this 2nd quarter. Yikes. – 8:52 PM Jason Anderson @JandersonSacBee
Davion Mitchell guarded two guys on one possession and four on another. Defending at a really high level; doing as well as you can vs. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander; seven points on 3-of-4 shooting; and politely asked the official about that block/charge call. – 8:51 PM Oklahoma City Thunder @okcthunder
