Kings v. Clippers 1.17.15

Tonight was Bollywood night out at Sleep Train Arena. Many of the Kings staff took the opportunity to dress in Indian style clothing. It made for a really colorful and unique look during the game.

It was great to have Sasha and her friend Kyle at the game tonight. They were both at the Heat game the day before, and Kyle was rooting for the Heat. That's cool though, he's no bandwagoner. He's been a Heat fan for a long time. I can respect that for sure. Every other day he's a Kings fan though so all good!

It was a special day for my good friend Vince as he was able to take his father to his first NBA game. Vince's dad is upward of 70 years old and a HUGE NBA fan. I was really shocked to find out he had never been to a live game. The Kings gave him a special certificate for being there tonight.

Vivek was in full cheering mode as he sat courtside tonight. Each fan at the arena was given a colorful rally towel at their seats. Seeing the wave around during the game was definitely a cool sight to behold.

The Kings Dancers always put on special routines when it's Bollywood night. The dancers performed twice and each time their dance routines were amazing.

I love Bollywood nights! They seem to be extra special, and the energy that everyone puts out seems to be at a higher level. 

Oh yes, there was also a basketball game that happened tonight! The Kings were very depleted as big Cuz and Carl Landry were both out. Rudy Gay didn't even make it back from a funeral until the first quarter had already started. We did, however, have Quincy Miller in the line-up. He was recalled from Reno to help out the Kings.

The Kings played very well again in the first half of the game. They were neck-in-neck with the Clippers. We had adversity, but the Clippers had just about all their weapons in play, so I was proud to see the Kings hang tough.

Though Boogie didn't play he was still a big part of the team giving them support from the bench. It was great seeing him encourage his teammates and get in the game mentally.

The second half of play doomed the Kings once again and they were beat by a superior Clippers team. The Kings put up a valiant effort and I have to commend them, but it must be frustrating to pick up all these losses recently. Just gotta hang in there!
