It's the second Flahsback Friday of the season, and the arena was decked out with special Sacramento Proud rally towels in baby blue. I arrived at the arena early and saw the entire place filled with the towels neatly placed on the seats. It was truly a sight to behold!
The Kings would be without DeMarcus again today, but even though he didn't dress to play he did get some light shooting in before the game. He also took the time to sign autographs for fans that came early to see the shoot arounds.
The tough stretch for the Kings continues as they had to a very talented Rockets team. The Rockets have James Harden, who is a handful for even the best of teams. Without Big Cuz in the line-up we were handicapped from the very start. The Rockets really took it to the Kings in the beginning parts of the game.
As it was Flashback Friday, the Kings welcomed back alumni of the Sacramento Kings Dancers. Many dancers returned to the court where they performed so many times. It was awesome to see so many talented ladies take the floor!
I was really jazzed to see Isela and Lynsi on the court again! These two former SKD were on the team just last year. I loved watching them and it was a thrill to be able to capture some photos of them on the court tonight.
It was also a tremendous thrill to take some photos of Katie on the court tonight! I never had the opportunity to see Katie dance when she was on SKD, but seeing her there tonight was amazing. She is still so fit!
When basketball returned after halftime the Kings rallied and came back strong on the Rockets. It was great to see the Kings surge back and get in the game.
When the team surges, so does the crowd. The Kings fans were loud in their support of the team - almost willing them to score baskets.
In the end the Rockets proved to be a bit too much for the depleted Kings team. The Kings dropped this one to Houston. Like last season, the team struggles massively without their big man in the center. Let's hope he is able to get back on the court sooner rather than later.
