Sacramento Kings TV analyst Kayte Christensen joined The Carmichael Dave Show with Jason Ross on Wednesday to break down Tuesday night’s loss to the Denver Nuggets, discuss what the Kings need to do to stay afloat while Domantas Sabonis is sidelined, look ahead to tonight’s rematch against the Nuggets, and more.
Topics Discussed:
- What did the Sacramento Kings miss the most about Domantas Sabonis’ absence on Tuesday night?
- Kayte on players contributing in Sabonis’ place: “Multiple people stepped up. I thought a lot of people stepped up and performed well.”
- What happened in the second half? Did the Kings ease up on defense or did the Nuggets, specifically Nikola Jokic, start making plays?
- On the losing effort to the Nuggets: “You have to credit Denver. They’re the number-one team in the Western Conference.”
- Why did Sacramento struggle to get their offense going on the fast break?
- What kind of tweaks will the Kings need to make if they want to split this two-game set?
- How much of a challenge will it be for Sabonis to play through his injury (if he chooses to suit up soon)?
