Recent Performance Trends


The Kings have had a mixed bag of results in their last few outings. Despite a commendable effort, they faced challenges against formidable opponents. In their most recent game against the Suns, despite scoring 106 points and showcasing a fast break percentage of 86 percent, they couldn't secure a win. The team's efficiency rating stood at 111, but defensively they allowed 122 points against them which ultimately led to their defeat.


Another notable game was against the Warriors where the Kings put up 104 points with an effective field goal percentage of 56 percent. However, defensive lapses were evident as they conceded 130 points. This pattern suggests that while offense has been solid with contributions across the board, defense remains an area for improvement.
