Keys to the Game:
•Move/Take Care of the Ball
The Kings did a solid job of moving the ball last night in Oakland. With 25 assists and 13 turnovers, the Kings were able to beat the home team. Sacramento needs to do the same tonight as far as assists go and need to trim that number of turnovers down at least just a little bit.
•Make Shots Early and Often
This young Sacramento team has proven to be a team that can go out and light up the box score. The second best 3-point shooting team in the NBA needs to continue to prove they'll be a force to be reckoned with in the future and that future starts now. Get your shots going early and often.
