This is the Kings\u2019 second consecutive loss.<\/p>\n<p>The Kings were led by center Kosta Koufos, who nodded in 14 points and 11 rebounds for the night.

Not only was Koufos feeling it in the post, he was well aware of where his defender was at that time.<\/p>\n<p>Koufos also found himself at the right spots during the game:<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 100%; height: 0; padding-bottom: 56.25%;\">\/\/v.embedcdn.com\/v1\/embed.js<\/div>\n<p>Lawson knew Karl-Anthony Towns would come over and help. As he did that, Lawson found Koufos down low for another open layup. When centers help out their guards on plays like these, it gives the other center room for an opportunity, but the point guard has to be aware.<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow night, the Kings will take on the Nets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last night was a tough one for the Sacramento Kings, losing 102-88 against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
