The Sacramento Kings were 15-point favorites heading into Tuesday night’s game against a Charlotte Hornets team that had lost 11 straight games.

Unfortunately for those in attendance at Golden 1 Center, the Kings suffered a 111-104 loss in what many are calling the worst loss of the season.

NBC Sports California analyst Kayte Christensen joined The Carmichael Dave Show with Jason Ross on Wednesday morning to give her take on whether or not Sacramento’s latest loss is “the worst of the season,” give her take on Mike Brown’s rotation changes, and much more.
