Kings lose a thriller against the Spurs

The Kings lose again. It seems like they go on big winning streaks and then go on big losing streaks. They definitely need to become more consistent to compete for a good playoff spot. This game wasn't all negative though. The Kings were down by 17 in the 3rd quarter. They came back to take the lead with about 1:30 left in the 4th. It looked like they were going to pull off the upset. It didn't happen that way though. The Kings found themselves down 7 just a few seconds later. It looked like the game was over. It didn't end their though. The Kings made a late run. Kevin Martin made clutch free throws and baskets to lead their comeback. The Kings also had some help from the Spurs with all their missed free-throws late in the game. The Kings were then down be 2 with 4 seconds left. Mike Bibby threw up a prayer from halfcourt and it didn't even come close. The final score was 100-98. Yes, it is tough to lose such a close game, but on the bright side, the Spurs are one of the best teams in the NBA. Kevin Martin got his shot back and scored 30 points. On the downside, a loss is a loss and it is no different if you lose by 50 or 1. All the Kings can do is get prepared for another great team in the Magic on Monday.
