Keys to the Game:
•Make Your Shots
The Kings seemingly didn't want to make their shots yesterday early on. They shot just 19% from three point range. That's going to have to change if the Kings want a win in OKC.
•Rebounds
There were far too many second chance points for the Nuggets yesterday. Secure the rebounds better in tonight's game.
