Keys to the Game:
•Contain LeBron James
This probably won't happen, but maybe try and keep LeBron from dismantling you?
•Win the 3-point battle
The Kings did a terrible job in LA last night with both defending and making their three point shots. They cannot continue that tonight against the Cavaliers. The Clippers, unlike the Cavs, are a bad three point shooting team and the Kings allowed them to make 41.9% of their 3's last night.
