Clippers fall to 0-4 on second night of back-to-backs, lose 4-of-5 in 7-day stretch, and are back at .500 following their second loss to the Sacramento Kings this week.
104-99 is the final score. Terence Davis II led all scorers with 28 points. Clippers travel to Portland Monday – 12:41 AM
Matt George @MattGeorgeSAC
Just the 3rd time this season the Kings have held their opponents under 100 points. All 3 at home.
Sac is 2-1 in those games. – 12:40 AM
James Ham @James_HamNBA
The Kings had never beat the Clippers at Golden 1 coming into Saturday night. In fact, they had lost 15 straight at home to LA. That streak is no more. In front of 15K fans, the Kings picked up their fourth home win of the season. Here are 6 quick thoughts from the 104-99 victory – 12:40 AM

The Kings win 104-99 for their third consecutive victory over the Clippers. The last time Sacramento won three in a row over them was in 2010. #SacramentoProud12:40 AM
Sean Cunningham @SeanCunningham
Buddy Hield sinks two free throws to put the game away – Kings win 104-99. Terence Davis with 28 as Sacramento earns its second straight win over the Clippers. Kings now 10-14 on the season with three days off before hosting Orlando on Wednesday. – 12:39 AM

Sacramento calls a timeout with 10.4 seconds left, leading 102-99. They have one remaining, Clippers out of timeouts. Both teams in penalty – 12:37 AM
Sean Cunningham @SeanCunningham
Marcus Morris drills a deep three after De’Aaon Fox goes 1/2 from the FT line. Kings timeout – up 3 with 10.4 to go. Kings still with one timeout left. LA has used all of theirs – 12:36 AM
James Ham @James_HamNBA
3-ball Clippers. 102-99 Kings with 10.4 remaining. Yikes. – 12:36 AM
Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Clippers tried to dig into the Brad Stevens bag and throw it over the top to George in the paint.
But Mann’s inbound hit the backboard, and that’ll do it. – 12:35 AM

Good to hear “Sac-ra-mento” chants. – 12:25 AM
Matt George @MattGeorgeSAC
This just goes to show you what the Kings are capable of defensively when they just play with energy and effort on that end. Next step is making that defensive focus not super reliant on how their offense is going. – 12:25 AM

Terence Davis to the line after Morris missed both. – 12:24 AM
Jason Anderson @JandersonSacBee
Terence Davis has a season-high 26 points vs. the Clippers. Second game in a row he has established a new season high after scoring 23 in Wednesday’s game against the Clippers. – 12:23 AM
Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Yeah, so the Clippers have allowed 23 3s this season to Jonas Valanciunas and Terence Davis II.
Game-high 26 points for Davis, and Clippers use a timeout with Sacramento up 98-92, 2:48 left to play.
That’s a six-point lead. One point for every Terence Davis 3 tonight! – 12:21 AM
Sean Cunningham @SeanCunningham
Prior to Terence Davis’ three to put Sacramento up 98-92 with 2:48 to go, Richaun Holmes looked like he took another shot to that right eye – which caused him to miss some time. He’s in some discomfort but remains in the game. – 12:21 AM
Andrew Greif @AndrewGreif
Is two wildly accurate three-point shooting nights enough to induct Terence Davis into the Hall of Clippers Killers? – 12:20 AM

Terence Davis has 44 points against the Clippers this week after a 3-point play made by driving Zubac.
In another development, Alvin Gentry is challenging a 3-point shooting foul called on Davis. Paul George is always involved in the wrong end of these – 12:15 AM

Some early-season standings craziness: The Grizzlies are now fourth in the Western Conference at 13-10, ahead of the Clippers, Mavericks, Nuggets, Lakers and Blazers. The team has won four straight games without Ja Morant (knee sprain). – 12:12 AM
Sean Cunningham @SeanCunningham
Kings up 8 with 5:29 to go. Neither team has reached a 30 point quarter tonight. – 12:11 AM
Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Clippers briefly went without Ibaka/Zubac/Hartenstein, but Sacramento just shrugged and kept Bagley/Thompson in.
Zubac is in now, but Sacramento is up 90-79 and in bonus for last 6:36 of game.
Clippers have shot a nightmarish 42.4% in the paint. – 12:06 AM
Matt George @MattGeorgeSAC
5 Kings just sprinted down the floor together in formation like the blue angels. That was very fun to watch. pic.twitter.com/3M0UeCouB312:04 AM

Mitchell to Bagley. Kings up 90-76. – 12:03 AM
Matt George @MattGeorgeSAC
The Kings and Buddy Hield are so much better off when the offense isn’t completely reliant on his shooting. – 12:00 AM
James Ham @James_HamNBA
Buddy Hield with another bucket. Crowd is on their feet in Sacramento. It’s been a while. – 11:59 PM
Mirjam Swanson @MirjamSwanson
Ty Lue will often seek to take the blame for things going wrong, but lol at @BSieman for wanting to the blame specifically for five of the Kings’ points tonight. Bad defense from the broadcaster. – 11:58 PM
Matt George @MattGeorgeSAC
Every once and a while Marvin Bagley reminds us that he is a walking double-double with raw talent alone.
It’s easily the most frightening thing when imagining Bagley going to another franchise in the coming months. – 11:58 PM
Sean Cunningham @SeanCunningham
Marvin Bagley with his first double double of the season with 10 points and 11 boards tonight. – 11:56 PM
Andrew Greif @AndrewGreif
Maybe I should note that the Clippers are 1-10 this season when trailing entering the fourth quarter. – 11:56 PM

Marvin Bagley III has a double-double with 10 points and 11 rebounds in 15 minutes. – 11:55 PM

If Clippers ever find a spurt, they best take the lead with it. Sacramento added to their halftime advantage and are up 76-70 through 3 quarters.
De’Aaron Fox: 16 points, 8/16 FGs, 7 rbeounds, 5 assists, 1 steal. – 11:51 PM

Feels like these next few minutes will decide the game. Even after playing so well, these 2nd half opponent pushes have been too hard for the Kings to handle, especially at home this season. – 11:47 PM
Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Clippers are hanging around. Sacramento holding onto a 70-67 lead with 2:05 left.
Clippers playing to protect themselves as much as possible. It is an eyesore to watch, but that’s what they need to do to steal one. – 11:43 PM
Matt George @MattGeorgeSAC
Only Richaun Holmes can make 0 points look so good. His impact just by playing his game (the respect he gets in the pick & roll) is glaring.
In case their was any doubt that the man was an NBA-caliber starting big… – 11:41 PM
Mirjam Swanson @MirjamSwanson
Even with the recent 3-point sprees against the Clippers, for the season they’re middle-of-the-packish in terms of opponent’s 3-point shooting: 33.9% — while LA is shooting 35.2% itself. (That’s 13th in league on both accounts.) – 11:41 PM
Andrew Greif @AndrewGreif
Marcus Morris has earned a technical and Terence Davis made the free throw for a seven-point SAC lead. Morris is out of the game now. – 11:36 PM

Matt George @MattGeorgeSAC
The fact that Davis has been able to get this hot in back-to-back games, & continues to get such good looks speaks to the impact of De’Aaron Fox & Tyrese Haliburton. Defenses have to focus so much attention on them both (and Holmes) in the pick & roll. Davis can freely get open. – 11:34 PM
Sean Cunningham @SeanCunningham
Paul George, who is struggling with his shot tonight, is now up to 9 assists midway through the 3rd quarter. He had 3 at the half. – 11:34 PM
Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Call him Terence Valanciunas
Davis 3s vs Clippers this season: 10/17 (5 each tonight and Wednesday)
Davis 3s vs rest of NBA this season: 12/57 (21.1%)
Sacramento up 67-59 with 6:52 left in 3rd quarter. – 11:31 PM
Matt George @MattGeorgeSAC
The flow to this game is the best I’ve seen for the Kings all season. Pace, ball movement, and speed all fitting Sacramento’s ideal style of play. – 11:31 PM
Andrew Greif @AndrewGreif
After making a three that earned everyone in the arena free tacos, Terence Davis spent some extra time on the Clippers’ side of halfcourt entering the timeout. He had some words and tangled a bit with Terance Mann and Hartenstein, but nothing ultimately came of it. – 11:30 PM
Sean Cunningham @SeanCunningham
Terence Davis out firing in the 3rd, Kings now lead 67-59 at 6:52. Davis with 17 points, buries his 5th triple and let’s the Clippers know about it as LA burns the timeout. – 11:30 PM

Wednesday, it was the Kings traveling down to LA on second night of B2B, and they basically ended game in third quarter.
Interested to see how Clippers come out and execute to start third quarter. Legs were a major issue offensively, but game didn’t get away from Clippers. – 11:21 PM

Terance Mann’s runout following a Haliburton miss was the only Clippers FG in the last 7:29 of the first half.
They’re fortunate to be down only 50-45 at half in Sacramento. Clippers shooting only 33.3% from field, and it’s really bad inside arc (missed 12/19 paint, 5/6 middy) – 11:08 PM

Kings 50, Clips 45 | Half | A six-minute lull gives Sacramento a five-point edge going into the break … the Clippers, as you know because you’ve been watching, are playing their fifth game in seven days, again. They’re 0-3 on the back of back to backs this season, fwiw. – 11:07 PM

Kings take a 50-45 lead over the Clippers into the half thanks to 27 points from the starting backcourt – 15pts for Tyrese Haliburton & 12 for De’Aaron Fox).

Terence Davis and Davion Mitchell had their best shooting games of the season Wednesday night in LA.
I asked Alvin Gentry about encouraging players to shoot, and his answer was similar to what we’ve heard over the years from Doc Rivers and Tyronn Lue. pic.twitter.com/YYxQ8znT1K9:19 PM

The Clippers are 0-3 this season on the second night of back-to-backs this season. The Kings beat them on zero days rest Wednesday. We’ll see if the Clippers can return the favor tonight with both Paul George and Marcus Morris Sr. available
