Lefu returned to peak form, and the Heat won four in a row! Sabonis slashed a triple-double
Hot Team Kings. Whether you admit it or not, Rozier's arrival with the Miami Heat, albeit in a short period of time, makes it feel like they have once again shown what they are capable of being a dark horse in the East. However, they are only 31-25 this season, 7th in the East, and are still some way away from competing for the title. In this game, Butler, Shiloh, and Rozier were all away, and Spo led the team back to Sacramento, giving the Kings a resounding slap in the face.
The future of the Kings is unquestionable, as they have appeared as dark horses in the West in the last two seasons. Beside Fox, well-rounded forward Sabonis kept them on the line. Role players like Barnes, Hierter, Monk have matured, and they share a lot of pressure on the team at all levels. This time, they sat at home against the Heat, and the Heat faced the Heat, and tied with a total score of 121-110 to get the final victory.
