Feels like we’ve been talking a lot less about Kings rebounding this season, which is a nice change.
Hope I didn’t just jinx it. – 10:12 PM

De’Aaron Fox had PJ Tucker on an island. For some odd reason, Kings ghost screened and allowed Amir Coffey to switch onto Fox and force a miss
And the Clippers lead Kings 28-25 at the end of 1 quarter of play. 8-0 run mixed in there.
Free throws!
– Kings: 1/3
– Harden: 3/3 – 10:11 PM

Chicago’s win over Pels means Dallas stays half a game behind the 5th-place Pels (and Phoenix) — but also means Mavs missed chance to move ahead of Pels.
At the moment, pending Kings-Clippers late tonight, New Orleans/Phoenix are tied for 5th and Dallas/Sac are half-game back. – 9:42 PM

Dallas’ 15 assists were a season low, as Kidd noted. Previous low was 17 at the Clippers on Nov. 25.
Kidd was particularly disappointed that Dallas didn’t continue to get the ball into Irving’s hands after his 9-point surge to start the fourth quarter. – 7:42 PM

Worth noting that the Lakers have two days off until their next game (Wednesday at the Clippers) and this is an early game. Looks like they’re shortening the rotation and playing their core players heavier minutes today with the upcoming time off. – 5:32 PM
