\"Exum-Dwill-BadDefense\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If you love sloppy basketball, tonight was a treat. The Sacramento Kings (26-50) compounded mistake\u00a0after mistake\u00a0to throw a winnable game, losing to the Utah Jazz (35-42) by a final score of 101-95.<\/p>\n

“Statistically, we’re just cheating the game to the point where it’s going to be tough to win if we continue to hurt ourselves with our decision-making and our inability to rebound the ball at times,” George Karl told the media after the match.<\/p>\n

The Kings shot 48.1\u00a0percent from the field and scored 24\u00a0second chance points. They also lost 20\u00a0turnovers, missed 10\u00a0of 24 free throws, and allowed Utah to pull down 14\u00a0offensive boards and score 20\u00a0second chance points of their own. The Jazz committed 20\u00a0turnovers themselves\u00a0but outran the Kings 24-13\u00a0in fast break points.<\/p>\n

With Sacramento down one at the 8:35 mark in the fourth quarter, the Jazz went on a 14-2\u00a0run and never looked back. The\u00a0ugly stretch for the Kings\u00a0featured technical and\u00a0offensive fouls and missed layups.<\/p>\n

“You can’t have 34 extra possessions for the other team,” Karl emphasized. “Utah’s not a great offensive team, but we gave them enough possessions that they scored 100 points. They never should’ve scored 100 points. They did because our defense had its flaws at times, but more than anything, our offense created bad defense too.”<\/p>\n

DeMarcus Cousins was a force once again with 26\u00a0points and 12\u00a0rebounds, but he was responsible for eight\u00a0turnovers. Ben McLemore had a nice showing with 20 points, five\u00a0rebounds and four\u00a0assists, and Omri Casspi chipped in 14\u00a0points and five rebounds.<\/p>\n

Rookie Rodney Hood led the Jazz with a career-high 25\u00a0points. Rudy Golbert\u00a0produced 10\u00a0points and nine\u00a0rebounds and Derrick Favors\u00a0added\u00a011 points and five boards.<\/p>\n

The Kings have now lost five straight and fall to 8-16 under coach Karl. Sacramento hosts the Minnesota Timberwolves (16-60) on Tuesday before embarking on a three-game road trip.<\/p>\n

Notes and Analysis<\/h2>\n
    \n
  • DeMarcus Cousins didn\u2019t notch his third straight triple-double, but he played well in the loss. \u00a0The Kings’ All-Star center finished the game with 26 points, 12 rebounds and four assists on the night, adding his 47th double-double of the season. \u00a0On the downside, Cousins picked up his 14th technical foul of the season and added eight turnovers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n
    • Ben McLemore played inspired, but sloppy ball tonight for coach Karl. \u00a0The second-year shooting guard scored 20 points, grabbed five rebounds, handed out four assists and collected four steals in 38 minutes of action. \u00a0His defense was spectacular, but if he continues to drop easy passes under the basket, his teammates are going to stop feeding him.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        \n
      • Omri Casspi continues to fill in nicely for the concussed Rudy Gay. \u00a0Not only did he score 14 points on 5-for-10 shooting, but the speedy wing held Gordon Hayward in check. \u00a0The Jazz\u2019s leading scorer finished the night with five points on 2-for-11 shooting in 20 minutes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
          \n
        • Derrick Williams is an enigma. \u00a0The former second overall selection scored nine points on 4-for-7 shooting, but failed to produce anything else for his team. \u00a0You almost have to try to not grab a single rebound or pick up a single assist in 26 minutes of NBA action.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
            \n
          • Ray McCallum continued his solid play. \u00a0When his shot isn\u2019t falling, like tonight (3-of-10), he finds ways to help his team. \u00a0The sophomore guard scored eight points, grabbed five rebounds and three steals, and handed out a team-high seven assists in the loss.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
              \n
            • Stat of the Night:\u00a0<\/strong><\/strong>The Kings look to run every chance they get. \u00a0Tonight it was the Utah Jazz who led the way with 24 fast break points. \u00a0The Kings’ 20 turnovers on the night might have something to do with that number. \u00a0

              George Karl on the Kings’ lack of rebounding<\/b><\/p>\n

              \u201cYou shouldn’t be playing 20 minutes a night and not getting a rebound. A coke machine can get a rebound in 20 minutes.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
