First time in Sacramento. I appreciate the Rochester Royals championship banner…but the organization must not own the rights to the Royals logo?
It’s just the NBA logo… – 10:03 PM

These last 5 minutes of the half were a problem area on Monday in the Sac. Let’s see if the boys have learned anything. – 9:55 PM

Bulls, Jazz tied 27-27 after first quarter
Coby White has 8 points, has made 3 of first 4 shots. Zach LaVine has 7 points and is playing much more assertively downhill than first half vs. SAC – 9:37 PM

Nuggets just won their 42nd game of the year. That’s the same number of wins as Philly, Utah and Dallas (Jazz and Mavs are playing right now). One win less than Milwaukee. – 9:32 PM

Zach LaVine felt he was too tentative to start the game in Sacramento, but there’s none of that from the guard tonight.
Seven points, two steals and two assists to start in SLC. – 9:27 PM

Pat Connaughton is close to returning per Mike Budenholzer. He said the #Bucks wing probably needs one more “practice”-like setting before seeing the court.
The team has a couple off days before playing Minnesota. – 8:42 PM

#Bucks head coach Mike Budenholzer says center Brook Lopez remains on a minutes limit tonight vs. the #Kings and left it at that. – 8:40 PM

Before tonight’s game, @ZoraStephenson asked Kings coach Alvin Gentry about Brook Lopez.
He brought up the questionable legality of Lopez’s rim defense and how he knows some tricks, the same thing he told me two years ago for this story at @TheAthletic: theathletic.com/1976623/2020/0… – 8:26 PM
Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
#Kings head coach Alvin Gentry on #Bucks center Brook Lopez’s ability to clog the lane in the drop defense – and avoid defensive three second calls:
“Sometimes it’s not so legal.” – 8:24 PM
Jason Anderson @JandersonSacBee
Interim Kings coach Alvin Gentry confirms Justin Holiday will return vs. the Bucks tonight after missing the past two games due to illness. Gentry says he hasn’t decided whether he will start Holiday or Donte DiVincenzo. – 8:18 PM

Bogdan Bogdanovic and Kevin Huerter have connected on at least one three-pointer in 30 and 20 straight games, respectively. They’re one of only three sets of teammates who have active 3FGM streaks of 30+ and 20+ games: Curry, Wiggins (GSW); Middleton, Allen (MIL). – 6:29 PM
