The second team to visit the Intuit Dome, the Clippers' new venue, the Kings left the venue with a heavy defeat (113-91), and this is the fifth in five matches! This is the first time since 1991 that the Sacramento franchise has not won a single game in preseason. Even if these defeats have no accounting value, it is a stain when we know that the franchise recruited DeMar DeRozan, one of the most sought-after free agents of the summer.
“There are still things that we need to correct, but I have seen, in defense as well as in attack, snippets of things done well” would still like to highlight Mike Brown. We have known the Kings coach to be tougher with his players. Perhaps because we must already plan ahead, and because his team was deprived of its strong forces at the back since De'Aaron Fox, Malik Monk and Kevin Huerter were in civilian clothes.
“I realize it’s preseason, and I want to win” continues Domantas Sabonisauthor of 24 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists. “I hate ending up with 0 wins and 5 losses. We always want to win as many matches as possible, but from what I see, it's correctable. »
Doug McDermott arrives
Same analysis for DeMar DeRozan, limited to 3 out of 8 on shots. “There is a lot to dissect and remember. There are a lot of good things and there are a lot of things we need to work on. We have time. Whether you're 5-0 or 0-5 doesn't count towards your record. What matters is how we get through it, what we can learn from it, improve, be better prepared individually and collectively for next week.”
Among the positive points of the evening, there was the good outfit of Doug McDermott, which was the first in his new colors. “We met him the evening before, around 9:30 p.m., 10 p.m., and we gave him a quick video presentation of the systems” explained assistant Jay Triano. “We plan to play him a lot to see how he can adapt to what we do on both ends of the court. » Result: 14 points and 5 rebounds in 25 minutes for the former Pacers and Spurs shooter.
