The Sacramento Kings continue to hold their own against the best teams in the NBA.

Sacramento, who holds an 8-5 record against the top four teams in the Western Conference this season, finally broke through in the Eastern Conference following Tuesday’s convincing 129-94 win over the Milwaukee Bucks at Golden 1 Center.

NBC Sports California analyst Kayte Christensen joined The Carmichael Dave Show with Jason Ross on Wednesday morning to share her thoughts on why the best teams bring the best play out of this Kings team and much more.
