Richaun Holmes appeared to be favoring that right wrist or elbow a little after the tough and-1 finish but then he added another basket on a pretty up-and-under move. Something to keep an eye on. – 8:49 PM

De’Aaron Fox has been really good in this game. He has 16 points on 7-of-16 shooting with seven assists, five rebounds and three steals. Tyrese Haliburton? Just as good — 15 points on 6-of-9 shooting with eight assists. – 8:37 PM
Harrison Wind @HarrisonWind
JaMychal Green’s year summed up in one stat: He has 29 made baskets to 21 turnovers this season, the second-most on the Nuggets. Green also has the fourth-worst turnovers ratio in the NBA ahead of only Marvin Bagley, Nerlens Noel and Dwight Howard. – 8:37 PM

You could hear Tyrese Haliburton screaming “And 1” all the way from Detroit on that bucket by De’Aaron Fox. – 8:02 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Cade Cunningham has 14 points and may need to try and takeover here. – 8:02 PM

This should very well be a 70 point Kings first half. – 8:02 PM
Matt Dery @DerySpeaks
This Sacramento Kings roster is coo coo crazy. #Pistons need to wake up. – 7:57 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Pistons showed a brief moment of life but the Kings keep making shots.
30/20 splits vs. 55/58 splits gets you a 21-point deficit. – 7:56 PM

#Pistons had worked to cut the 26-point lead down to 14, but the #Kings pushed it back to 55-34, 3:29 2Q. – 7:56 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Need to check, but believe that’s Cade’s first dunk. Pistons have been threatening to get back in this, but the Kings keep hitting shots – 7:55 PM
Rod Beard @detnewsRodBeard
I believe that is #Pistons Cade Cunningham’s first dunk of the season, and … yeah, that was a good one to start with. – 7:54 PM

The Sacramento Kings are apparently playing for their coach. Up 42-16 in the second quarter over Detroit. – 7:43 PM
Matt George @MattGeorgeSAC
I’ll give the OKC Thunder a little more credit. They aren’t nearly as bad as this Pistons team. Doesn’t excuse a blown 18 point lead though.
Meanwhile the Kings are up 42-16 in Detroit… – 7:42 PM

Kings open tonight’s game by holding the Pistons to just 12 points, lead 31-12 as they head to the 2nd quarter. Good confidence builder in that opening period for Sac. – 7:35 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
END OF 1Q: Kings 31, Pistons 12
Yeah. – 7:35 PM
Matt George @MattGeorgeSAC
Wouldn’t call the Kings defense great more than I’d call the Pistons offense really bad to start this game. But they are very active which Detroit is struggling with.
But Kings lead big (31-12) after the first quarter. – 7:35 PM

Kings are pounding the Pistons here in the 1Q. Lead 31-12. Metu leads with 7 points. Pistons shoot 5-for-24 from the field. – 7:34 PM

Jason Anderson @JandersonSacBee
Marvin Bagley into the game for the Kings. Wondered if we might see this given Luke Walton’s emphasis on defensive rebounding. Bagley was third on the team last season with 4.9 defensive rebounds per game. – 7:34 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Boos rain down after a Lyles airball. The Pistons are 5 of 24 from the field in the 1Q. – 7:33 PM

Marvin Bagley III is in the game … how many “showcase” replies will I get? – 7:33 PM

Marvin Bagley is in the game for just the 2nd time this season.
The Detroit Pistons were the team that recent reports said had interest in Bagley… – 7:32 PM

Marvin Bagley has checked into the Kings game in Detroit to close the first quarter. First appearance since the home opener. – 7:32 PM

DET is shooting 4-of-19 (21%) from the field. – 7:26 PM
Matt George @MattGeorgeSAC
Kings really don’t run much for De’Aaron Fox in the half court. It’s all high pick & rolls (which everyone goes under) or iso.
I’m not nearly as critical of Luke Walton as others, but the lack of creativity offensively for this team’s best player isn’t a good look for him. – 7:25 PM
James Ham @James_HamNBA
The Pistons are missing shots badly. It’s leading to some strange second chance opportunities. Kings need to do a better job of boxing out, but the ball is hopping off the rim in all different directions. – 7:25 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
The Pistons cannot put the ball in the basket from anywhere. – 7:22 PM

Big emphasis from Luke Walton tonight (and every night) on defensive rebounding. So far the Kings are responding. They have six defensive rebounds. The Pistons have zero offensive rebounds. – 7:18 PM

Sacramento is on a 9-0 run. Funky start for Detroit. Killian with two plays leading to turnovers. Cade and Saddiq each have a 3. Isaiah Stewart with 4 points. – 7:18 PM
