Tonight was awesome as I got two of my co-workers to come out to the game! Nicole and Aman got their chance to cheer on the Kings from section 122. I've been trying to get Aman to go to a game for the better part of a season and a half. Finally got her out!
Right outside of section 122 Jenn did a video spot. There's usually something going on here so when you come out to the arena head over to 122 and see what's up!
Sometimes it's thunder sticks and sometimes it's these balloons. Either way it's always great to see the fans waving them around when the opponent goes to the free throw line. Do they make a difference? I'm not sure, but it looks good on TV.
I spotted a unicorn in the Goon Squad area. The Goon Squad is where a lot of passionate Kings fans hang out. It's definitely the section to be at - ESPN Fan Hall of Famer Sign Lady has seats there.
This is the view from my spot on the floor. The action is close, fast, and furious. It's incredible to witness the speed and strength of these athletes. It's an awe-inspiring experience each and every time.
DeMarcus Cousins has been out quite a bit recently... and the team has struggled mightily without him. With DMC back in the line-up the Kings are a much more dangerous team.
Lots of players really stepped up for this one. Darren Collison was a huge difference maker as he hit critical baskets throughout the game. Here's a shot of him right after an important three pointer.
The biggest star by far on the Knicks is Carmelo Anthony. He's definitely skilled, but the Kings were able to handle him well.
I like this shot quite a bit. At times I will catch the in-house flash going off. Most of the time it creates an overexposed shot for me, but here it just overexposed the court which made for a pretty cool looking effect.
This was a fun game to be at as the Kings had a hold on most of the game. The Knicks fought back and forced overtime, but the Big Cuz took over and did not let the Knicks get a victory tonight.
The Kings Dancers got in a couple of routines tonight, but these ladies also got their groove on. They provided plenty of sass as they hit the court and showed the fans what they got!
Taro of Mikuni Sushi in Sacramento was courtside to see this game. You might remember the viewing party at the midtown location last week. The SKD gave him a cowbell and he was able to ring it proudly. Taro is a huge Kings fan and even has a roll named after No. 15. If you live in Sacramento, you owe it to yourself to get to a Mikuni's location ASAP!
Here's a happy fan... he won the Toyota Hot Shot challenge. He had to make six baskets in a minute in order to win an iPad mini. Well... obviously he did it! Excited? YUP!
After the game I went to share some of my photos with Katie from Kings.com. Her, Andrew, and Jason work hard each and every day to provide the fans with Kings web content. MAJOR props go out to these guys.
DeMarcus talk to Kayte Christensen about the victory after the game. December was a crazy month of home games. It's too bad that DMC was out for many of these games and the Kings fell in the standings. The Kings will on the road for the next few games. I'll be watching on TV. Can't wait to get back to the arena when the Kings get back in January.
