There was a lot of excitement in the arena tonight with new Kings coach George Karl making his debut. Fans who came to the game received this special George Karl poster as they walked in the doors. Karl has been a proven winner, and fans are hoping that he can bring his winning ways to Sacramento.
My friend Aman came with her co-worker Sandeep tonight. Aman has been a Kings fan for a very long time, but this was Sandeep's first ever basketball game. It's always exciting when someone who's never been comes! I asked her later and she said she really had a lot of fun. Looks like the Kings have a new fan!
Here's Scott and Kayte doing a pre-game interview for Kings Vision. Kayte was feeling a bit under the weather so she was sporting a warm beverage to help her voice.
The NBA trade deadline just passed and the Kings made a minor deal. They dealt Ramon Sessions for veteran guard Andre Miller. Miller is the oldest player in the league, but he knows Coach Karl well and should be a great addition to the team.
David Stockton was called up from Reno recently. Does he look familiar? He should! He's the son of legendary Jazz guard John Stockton. It was remarkable to see the resemblance as he shot around during the pre-game.
There was probably a bit too much excitement in the building for Coach Karl. The Kings got into a very large deficit in the first quarter. After a few tweaks, the team came back and actually got the lead going into the second.
It was a close game, but the Kings pulled forward and took this one from the Celtics. DeMarcus Cousins had another very strong outing tonight. It was awesome to get this shot of this tremendous dunk he had. Coast to coast!
After the game there was a mob of the press trying to get some sound bites from the coach. I don't think I've ever seen a media scrum this big here! It was a very positive night for the Kings and I hope Coach Karl will continue to lead the Kings to more and more wins.
