Saturday night’s Sacramento Kings-Memphis Grizzlies game at FedExForum had a scheduled 7 o’clock local start.
Bucks’ coach Jason Kidd was ejected in that game for knocking a ball from the hands of an official, which earned Kidd a one-game suspension.
Collison scored 20 points for the Kings, while DeMarcus Cousins had 17 points and 14 rebounds. “That would be a good goal and a very achievable goal for us to try to keep the other team under 20 points and come down on them quickly”. Gay returned to the lineup after missing the previous two games with a corneal abrasion to his left eye. Memphis is looking to score at least 100 in regulation in nine straight games for the first time in franchise history. Green entered the game averaging 17.3 points in his last seven games, shooting just under 51 percent.
Back in August, after its flurry of offseason moves, the 2015-16 Sacramento Kings were coined the NBA’s “Suicide Squad”, complete with its own trailer to parallel that of the DC Comics movie coming out later this year.
The Kings beat the Grizzlies 8-0 on fast-break points in the fourth quarter and 31-21 overall. “It’s not always going to be like that, ” Gasol said of the start. Memphis has scored between 101 and 108 points in each of the past seven contests in a rare extended splurge of stellar offensive performances. The Kings gave us just enough to keep it interesting down the stretch, but fell apart when it counted most. Cousins had to be helped off the court by trainers. Before the incident, he actually was injured in an earlier play in the second quarter.
Cousins twisted the same ankle in the first half but was able to return after he had it wrapped tighter.
