Love you en I got to sco my chair over away from that’s what we doing he is that guy okay okay lco way to step it up on such a holiday uh we knew this game was going to be a high-scoring game two teams that have been averaging around

130 recently Kevin Durant too easy Easy Money Sniper this we all I talked about in pregame was how they’ve actually been playing together and then Bradley Beal gets hurt with a hamstring injury he would not return hopefully this is minor hamstrings they do te to linger sabonis was in his bag tonight up

And and where there is sabonis right behind him is Sacramento came into this game ready to go and Malik monk was flying early six-man extraordinaire 16 points in the first half for him monk with the steel the cross right relax I got it wow he had a

Few layups in this game that were ey popping second quarter now sun’s trying to close this Gap go get it a lot turn back the clock you saw it right VC you saw it okay like when he played Michael Jordan’s kids in high school remember that game that was unbelievable KD I

Remember nothing negative against Michael Jord yeah we know uh 6764 Sacrament Sacramento at half three of 40 for dearen Fox tonight sabonis his stat line is Bonkers outside Grayson Allen shot clock evaporating Mar and then dein bookery finding his way to the basket all right fourth quarter now Vince you guys were telling

Me don’t worry KD will get it done but it was the others that we’re getting it done Eric Gordon for the three and then this beauty pump fake Step Up goodness get to your spot in a league defined by dunks and threes KD is the mid-range King ni okay

Malik all right KD three minutes left get there he is and you can’t double him because he was continuously making the right play and getting open shots for his teammates there it is that was the three that they said Royce O’Neal officially became a son yeah no question

There Fox hitting one as well oh bloody the booker drill the skills putting them away this one it was almost wi didn’t sabonis go up immediately yeah I thought this could have been an am one as did Sacramento but it’s a big Miss but a big offensive

Rebound sabonis finishes has won 35 181 12 and three blocks and you missed the timeout down the or the foul before the inbound on the stretch that actually put book to the line kind of seal the seal the game Durant with 28 Booker with 25 uh the season series between these two

Teams is now tied 2 to2 a very big game in those Western Conference standings with the win the suns are now tied with the Pelicans for Fifth and the Kings actually fall behind the Mavericks into eighth place very early a lot of basketball left but it shows you how

Tight the western conference is Sacramento has now lost four of five but we’ll talk with the winners first your take on Phoenix tonight I’m more so worried about Bradley Bill because the hamstring issue has been there I’m not sure it’s the same leg and the stuff he’s dealing with like you said

Hamstrings linger and they never it takes time to really get them right you may need a whole summer uh but for them they figur out a way if they’re fourth fifth wherever they are right now it’s the way they’re playing and the way they’re figuring out how to play and

When KD is making the right play as he always does playing Perfection basketball as I like to say it makes things easier for everybody else Vince knows he was a closer CP knows she’s a closer when you’re if you’re a team that has one closer that’s a luxury Phoenix

Has three closers and a Gordon can hit big shots as well so once they get together I still think they’re a dark horse in the west I think the thing is especially if you’re the Kings you’re not going to outscore Phoenix in the sense of you

Know you look at the stats 72 points in the paint to Suns 42 24 fast break points to the Suns four yeah and they lost the Kings lost because they have Kevin Durant and dein Booker and Sacramento doesn’t I mean you can have your two

Guys put up 35 and 40 and it’s still not enough and so I think for both of these teams I don’t know if you’re going to be able to outscore the other team in the playoffs and so they have to figure out you know what they’re going to do

Defensively but listen Kevin Durant and you’ll say this Over and Over Easy Money Sniper it is bucket can score at will but still makes the right play there were times where he passed up good shots for KD yeah to get better shots Grayson Allen missed one in the corner but that

That shot goes down and that’s a good generated catch and shoot three and the beautiful thing about this team even if you if if you sit Bradley Beal you have guys that are great in their role Grayson Allen now you bring in royy O’Neal U Eric Gordon you have guys that

E can either can go get you a bucket or knock down shots now they just have to defend a little better I think defensively is where things particularly playoff is is where things can go right but they can score with are they a timely stopped team like they’ll be a

Team that needs to get timely stops they may not be a great defensive team for four quarters but these next five six seven minutes we need to get stops to win this game but the thing is if you allow a team to to have momentum and I

Mean yes you can come out you get timely stops but you don’t want to put yourself in that position against some of these very good basketball teams where yes we let’s go get a timely stop but you’ve you’ve given confidence to teams like Blowing by like dear Fox was

Getting in the paint at will and now that leads to collapse open threes open threes and Now You’re vulnerable so I just feel like they just got to tighten it up early yes and you still get your timely stops but yeah you know you you don’t want to put yourself in that

Position particularly in the playoffs I think the thing that worried me down the stretch with Phoenix was a lot of iso the ball did not move from 11 minutes in the fourth quarter where it was just KD and allow theing defense to come yeah exactly and so I think when

You play against better defensive teams than the Kings right you can kind of fall into that trap where they’re able to shrink and you’re not able to get looks I mean listen if anybody can it’s KD book but to to depend on that so early in the game and if you’re a Kings

Fan you’re asking yourself this out of sabonis and fox we got 75 points 27 rebounds and 18 assists and we were still Five Points short so interesting thing but they have the All-Star break to collect themselves and speaking of collecting I hope you collected some funds because for the second time in

Three weeks The Leftovers the B man two two uh Booker had Booker had nine assists Durant had 28 points sabonis had uh 18 rebounds and Phoenix wins just another great night
