Another Win For The Kings!

We Sacramento Kings fans have had it rough this past season with our team struggling to win games, and the cloud of whether our team is moving to Seattle or not, but for one night, we Kings fans can enjoy a dominating win over one of the top teams in the NBA, the Chicago Bulls.  The Kings beat the Bulls 121-79, and yes, you guys are reading that score right.  The Kings decimated the Bulls from start to finish, and while Bulls fans may defend themselves by saying they didn't have Derrick Rose, the Bulls defense (ranked #1 in the NBA) didn't have it tonight.  Here are some things I highlighted from tonight's game.

• Tyreke Evans had his best game of the season with 26 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals, and 1 block.  He shot efficiently and did everything well overall.  Some people are down on Tyreke because his stats aren't there every night, and he's lackadaisical on defense sometimes, but I think he's having a fine season because his overall game has improved, and he's playing despite personal issues and injuries.
• The Patrick Patterson trade for Thomas Robinson still makes me scratch my head, but I loved his play tonight.  He started for Demarcus Cousins and nearly had a double-double, stretching the floor, and playing good defense.  If he plays this way all the time, then I think this deal in retrospect won't look so bad.
• Isaiah Thomas is slowly making a name for himself as one of the best up and coming point guards in the league, which is great to see considering he was the last pick in the NBA draft a few years ago, and he just seems like a nice, hardworking guy.
• The bench played together tonight, which was a sound sight.  If only they could play like that every night, but I understand everything is a work in progress.  Still, it was nice to see.
• Games for the Kings that include 17 assists to 5 turnovers will lead to wins most of the time.

Yes, I know I'm getting excited over one game for a team that isn't going to the playoffs this year, but I don't care.  The game was entertaining, and displayed the potential of what the Kings could be (and they didn't even have DeMarcus).  Of course, in the NBA, this is just one game.  The Kings played great against the Bulls, but now it's time to look ahead.  Next stop is LA against the Los Angeles Lakers, and I can't wait!
