OKC is 3-for-16 from the field. Kings lead by 3. That’s not a good sign. – 8:24 PM

From no minutes to starting, playing hard for a few games has paid off for Chimezie Metu. Reminding everyone why he got a full contract last season. Kings need his hustle out of the gate. – 7:54 PM

Willie Green talked in tonight’s pregame about a conversation that he had with Nickeil Alexander-Walker prior to Wednesday’s game against the Thunder.
Nickeil responded with a 33-point performance, but I like Green’s approach and choice of words to NAW more than that box score. pic.twitter.com/pQ9Jxagr1s – 7:22 PM

One thing that stands out to me watching Pelicans: All the early-clock semi-contested 3s from not-great shooters. OKC game was four minutes old before they got what you’d call a good shoot. You don’t need your 8th-best shooter slinging these with the clock at 15. pic.twitter.com/4M4jqHnkwi – 3:46 PM
