Of course, opposite, it was only the Pistons, but history will remember that the Kings won a 6th victory in a row last night, and it’s a first since… January 2005! The teammates of De’Aaron Fox have also just chained a 4th victory in a row in their room, and it had not happened to them since 2009. In terms of waiting, the Kings are regulars since they have not played in the playoffs since 2006.
“Fans keep coming to the venue, and they’ve been heartbroken for a very long time” recalls Harrison Barnes after the win over the Pistons. “Some people might take being competitive and consistent for granted, but I think everyone in this dressing room and in this room knows that wasn’t always the case. »
An exceptional attack!
The Mike Brown method works, and paradoxically, it is in attack that Sacramento does damage. With an average of 120.1 points, the Kings have the most prolific offense in the NBA (but also the second most effective, just behind the Celtics), and you have to go back to 1984 to find traces of an offense that scored more points after fifteen games, with Doug Moe’s Nuggets.
“We found automatisms. We now have a continuity that we did not have at the start of the season. It’s incredible this click in attack ” likes Harrison Barnes. “We are playing better and better, we are more and more regular. It’s good to arrive at the gym and to leave happy several evenings in a row. I’ve been there for five years, and it wasn’t. »
On Sunday, there were 17,866 spectators for the reception of the modest Pistons, and it was a record for the Golden 1 Center. The Kings offense fills the room, but the wins keep fans coming back…
“I think it’s always exciting to go on a winning streak, especially at home.” likes De’Aaron Fox. “If we had been on the outside, we probably wouldn’t have won this match, especially given how we defended. »
Yes, all is not perfect in Sacramento, and Mike Brown would like his players to remember that you also have to defend. “We can score points against the best teams. We have to find a way to make “stops”, and not only in the last three minutes” also warns the coach.
Next outing, in Memphis, to aim for a 7th victory in a row and get closer to 2nd place in the West!
