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)?

Listen to The Carmichael Dave Show with Jason Ross from 6 – 9 a.m. PST, Monday through Friday, on Sactown Sports 1140.
