Domantas Sabonis

Sabonis is now 10-0 against Davis in his career, and the challenges he poses in this matchup were again too much for the Lakers to overcome.

“Being a team that can come out of halftime and be a great third-quarter team is huge.”

Monk put on a masterclass in timely buckets en route to his second-highest-scoring game in a Kings uniform.

But Sacramento has run circles around the Wolves In its two games in Minnesota, including a 124-120 overtime win Friday night.

There's plenty to unpack from the Kings' successful stint away from Sacramento. Let's get to it.

"It's not like, 'Oh, we're gonna bring it together and there's no real chance of improvement,'” McNair explained in a sitdown interview.

After a heavily panned mid-season trade last year, Sabonis is an All-Star for the third time and has the Kings in a prime playoff position.

This season, we saw 20 trades happen between Jan. 23, when the Lakers acquired Rui Hachimura, and Thursday’s deadline. And time will reveal the lasting impact of each move. Will they result in championships? Will anyone be fired over them? One of my favorite traditions is to look back at the previous year’s deadline, see how we felt about the trades at the time and update those assessments.
