Kings blow 21 point lead to lose

The Kings lose a shocker. They were leading by 21 at the half and everything was going their way. They were owning the Jazz on offense and defense. I was starting to wonder, "How can the Jazz be 10-1?". Well, they answered that qusetion in a hurry. The Jazz ended up scoring 73 points in the 2nd half. They proved exactly why they are now 11-1. Deron Williams had yet another excellent game with 20 points, 13 assists, and 7 rebounds. Boozer added on with 32 points and 13 rebounds. For the Kings, Kevin Martin had another great performance with 24 points and 8 rebounds. Ronnie Price slammed down the most amazing dunk I had ever seen. That was one of the few bright spots of the second half. It will be more than very tough for the Kings to get over this loss. The best they can do though, is just study game film and do whatever they did in the first half. Even with all of the negatives though, the Kings did bring their A game in the first half against the best team in the NBA. As I said, it will be tough to get over this one, but they will have to at some point. Instead of considering this a bad loss, I look at it as a learning curve. The Kings could have some bright days ahead. Please post comments with any opinions or questions you might have.
