Tonight marked the return of DeMarcus Cousins to the line-up. The Kings have really missed him as they have been on quite the losing streak. Though Big Cuz is back, Darren Collison (arguably the Kings second best player currently) is out. There has been just too many injuries as of late!
During introductions I tried to get a little bit of a different perspective tonight. The Kings have been firing off some fireworks above the hoop as the players are introduced. I wanted to capture that as best as I could tonight. I think I'll try this again during the next game as well.
The theme of tonight's game was women in sports. It was a real celebration of great achievements by women. Many guests were in the arena tonight including the former Sacramento Monarch players who won the WNBA championship for Sacramento many years back.
Though we had DeMarcus back, the team still had to take on the Spurs. Their line-up of players is definitely fierce and battle tested. Though these guys are older, they age seems to not have an effect on them.
Off the court the Kings had a very special visitor sitting courtside with Vivek - it was Drake! People were going nuts trying to get photos of and with him as he watched the game.
This basketball was signed by Drake and went to a very special fan in the arena tonight. I'm pretty sure a whole lot of people wanted to have that particular item!
The Kings and the Spurs were neck and neck for the first three quarters of play. The score was always close and both teams were working hard to get the advantage.
In the end, the Spurs showed why they are so good by building up a substantial lead and easily winning the game. With this loss the Kings record is now 1-7. It's pretty bad right now in Kings land at the moment. They need a win really bad. Hopefully they can get one coming up on Wednesday versus the Pistons.
