Instead of focusing on the epic (I hate to use that word, but it fits here, ancient Greek poets would have a field day with this) 4th-quarter collapse of the Kings, where they gave up a 25 point lead and De’Aaron Fox didn’t do much of anything, let’s focus on the good stuff that happened for the Kings. Because you don’t get out to a 25-point lead at the end of three quarters without doing at least some good things.
Good thing one: Fox had a bunch of buckets and a bunch of assists. He didn’t have any of either in the final period, but as I said, we’re not going to focus on that.
Good thing two: Marvin Bagley had a good game, which is good because he’s supposed to be a good player.
Good thing three: I like the commentator tandem of Jerry Reynolds and Grant Napear more than I remember, so them commentating this game was nice. This is also kind of a bad thing, though, because I think the heartbreak might have killed Reynolds. Did anyone hear him say anything for the last 6 minutes of the game?
Good thing four: the Kings showed once again why they should be considered a fringe playoff team in the West next year. They also showed why they have been considered one of the jokes of the league for the past decade, but again, this is a positive description. Positivity!
