Don’t look now, but those Sacramento Kings are on another winning streak.

On the latest edition of the Return of the Roar podcast, Chris Watkins and Frankie Cartoscelli discussed Sacramento’s three-game winning streak, shared their thoughts on the fan reaction to former Kings guards Tyrese Haliburton and Buddy Hield, applauded the recent success on the defensive end, and much more.

Plus: If the NBA All-Star team was announced today, would Domantas Sabonis and/or De’Aaron Fox have a spot on the roster?

  • Return of the Roar has its first-ever live broadcast on YouTube!
  • Did Buddy Hield deserve the adverse reaction from Golden 1 Center?
  • Sacramento’s defense has turned a corner
  • De’Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis don’t need to carry the entire load during wins

  • Awards!
