Kayte Christensen on the Kings’ use of a double-big lineup

The Sacramento Kings displayed a new-look lineup during the second half of Monday’s win in Dallas as two centers–Domantas Sabonis and the recently acquired Jonas Valanciunas–shared the floor in crunch time.

With those two on the floor, Sacramento overcame an 11-point deficit with less than nine minutes remaining to force overtime and eventually secure the win.

NBC Sports California analyst Kayte Christensen joined The Carmichael Dave Show with Jason Ross to share her observations from Sacramento’s two-game winning streak, contemplate if we will see more of the double-center lineup going forward, and much more.

Be sure to check out the entire interview with NBC Sports’ Kayte Christensen on the Sactown Sports 1140 YouTube page.
