Kings v. Nuggets 2.19.16

It's been nearly two weeks since the last Kings home game. They've been on the road and also off for the All-Star break. It was great to be able to get back in the arena for some basketball action. Tonight I invited my friend Nai and her sister to the game. Nai and I did a Kings fashion photoshoot together recently! She is a HUGE Kings fan.

I always love walking around and seeing all the fans that attend the game. This young fan is at her first Kings game! I hope she got her wish and was put on the Jumbotron tonight. 

At long last the players came out and got ready to warm up. Besides being off, the Kings have been in the media recently regarding some team turmoil issues. The best way to get rid of those is to come out and play well.

Each member of the Kings supports each other. Though Eric Moreland has been out for nearly the entire season, he's always on the bench cheering on and encouraging his teammates.

The Kings took on the Nuggets tonight. As it was a Flashback Friday the Kings donned their baby blues. What was awesome was that the Nuggets also went retro! The combination of old school jerseys was a sight to behold.

The Kings and Nuggets had their moments of heat during the game. There was certainly an intensity level that I didn't expect to see. I knew the Nuggets would be fired up though as their coach Mike Malone was back at Sleep Train for the first time since he was let go by the Kings.

The Kings played a great game led by both Big Cuz and Rondo. They were able to earn this first win on their return from the break. The Kings are still aways back from the eighth playoff spot, but it is still within reach.

Besides the players going retro, the court made headlines by going retro too! Tonight the entire court had a make-over and was designed the way it looked back when the arena first opened in 1985. It looked spectacular.

Also in the building was Jenn Santich! She brought her cute baby with her. I was able to get a snap of her as she was walking by. Great to see her at the arena once again!
