dominant defense?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Absolutely not.\u00a0 The Kings looked lost and frustrated for much of the game.\u00a0 After scoring 131 points against the Warriors on Wednesday, the Kings struggled to reach 80 tonight.\u00a0 They fought hard late, but the Clippers defense was stifling, holding the Kings to just 85 points on evening.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. \u00a0Can the Kings come strong out of the gates?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Kings lost the first quarter 29-21 and trailed by 12 going to the break, so no, they didn&#8217;t really get off to a fast start.\u00a0 <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/t\/thompja02.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-www.cowbellkingdom.com\" target=\"_blank\">Jason Thompson<\/a><\/strong> picked up two early fouls in the first five minutes of the game which is a very bad thing when you are facing a player like Blake Griffin.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.
