Sacramento Kings blow another, fall to 10-14

Yet again, the Kings lose. They started out great. Probably the best they had all season. Kevin Martin looked his best, Brad Miller was knocking down the jumper that we grew used to seeing a few years ago, and Bibby was dishing out assists. That was in the first half at least. The Kings led 59-53 at the half with all momentum on their side. It was all downhill from their. The Wizards came out of the locker room as hot as a flame. They were knocking down everything, everytime they saw the basket. At the start of the fourth, the Kings made a run, cutting the lead from 14 to 6. That didn't last long though. The Wizards continually made baskets bumping the lead back up to 14. By the end of the game the Kings were able to make it a 7 point game with a final score of 126-119. The Wizards big 3: Antwain Jamison, Gilbert Arenas, and Caron Butler were just to much for the Kings. The Kings seem to always have trouble against the more athletic teams. One of the Sacramento Kings only bright spots throughout the game was Kevin Martin. He scored 40 points! That gets washed out though with another tough loss for the Kings. The Kings have not yet found an identity for their team. One half, they'll come out looking like the Suns. Another they will look like a bunch of inexperienced players barfing up shots. They better find their identity soon or it will be a long, painful season for them.
