The Sacramento Kings played a fantastic game against the Milwaukee Bucks and defeated them at home by 129:94.
When it comes to the Kings, it’s clear that the team has quality, but they’ve had a significant number of ups and downs throughout the season. This inconsistency reflected in their results, but against the Bucks, they showed how formidable they can be. They played excellently offensively in the first quarter, scoring 38 points and taking an eight-point lead. They continued in the same rhythm in the second quarter, not allowing the visitors to find any rhythm, and went into halftime with a massive 19-point lead.
The Milwaukee Bucks tried to make a comeback during the third quarter, mainly through Giannis Antetokounmpo, but the home team had an answer for everything. In the final quarter, they almost doubled their halftime lead, ending the game with a staggering 35-point lead for the Sacramento Kings. What’s interesting is that this win ended a streak of 15 consecutive NBA losses against the Milwaukee Bucks.
De’Aaron Fox had an outstanding game with 29 points, while Domantas Sabonis was on the verge of a triple-double with 22 points, 11 rebounds, and eight assists. On the other side, Giannis Antetokounmpo finished the game with 30 points and 13 rebounds, being the only player performing well for his team.
Victor Wembanyama had a slightly off game in his San Antonio Spurs’ loss to the Houston Rockets by 101:103.
The French basketball player has been in excellent form, but this was one of his less impressive performances this season. The Rockets found a way to neutralize him and prevent him from being a factor. They forced him to play in the post, far from the basket, which is not ideal for a player of his style.
The game was decided by Fred VanVleet, who resembled his days as one of the best players for the Toronto Raptors. He finished the game with 21 points, seven assists, seven rebounds, and two steals. Jalen Green also showed good form with 16 points.
Wembanyama ended the game with 13 points and 10 rebounds, shooting five for 12 from the field. In addition, he managed to contribute six assists in the mentioned situation.
