Well, there will be no Las Vegas for the Sacramento Kings.

They get knocked out in the knockout round, 127 and 117.

Going solo here on this post-game show,

so I appreciate all of you that are joining me here on what is not a good

night for the Sacramento Kings and again they gave up too many points in the

first half it's been a repetitive pattern on this homestand.

New Orleans had 69 at the break.

And Jerry Reynolds on with me at halftime earlier,

hit it right on the head.

He said 120 would win this game.

120 did win the game.

127 and 117.

You know, I look at this game two different ways.

Matchups.

The Kings don't match up well with New Orleans.

That's why New Orleans has won all three games. The other thing is New Orleans made

threes without taking a lot of attempts and the Kings did not. Before that last three at the end,

New Orleans were 14 of 30, they ended up 14 of 31,

and the kings were 14 of 41.

Think about that.

The kings took 10 more threes and missed them all, right?

Both team with 14, but only 31 attempts for New Orleans at 45 percent in Sacramento's three-point shooting at 34%.
