\nMore on the Sacramento Kings<\/p>\n
A report surfaced earlier in the day claiming the Sacramento Kings plan to trade some veterans and go into rebuilding mode. Christie didn\u2019t take any questions and smacked the table before walking away.<\/p>\n
\u201cChange is hard,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s hard. But understand \u2014 and we understand \u2014 that we\u2019re not there yet. But we\u2019re about to work at it like crazy. We will totally get there. And it will be bumpy. It will because change is like that. But buckle up. For the real ones, buckle up.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sacramento\u2019s loss to the Nuggets was its fourth defeat in the last five games. The Kings trailed by one point early in the fourth quarter before Denver took control with a 16-2 surge.<\/p>\n
Domantas Sabonis had 19 points and eight rebounds for the Sacramento Kings, while his backup, Drew Eubanks, had 19 points on 8-of-9 shooting from the field. Russell Westbrook had 14 points, 11 assists and eight rebounds and continues to spark the Kings when he\u2019s on the floor.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, Dennis Schroder, who has started all 11 games, has just five total points on 1-of-19 shooting over the last three contests.<\/p>\n
Christie said after the game that having Westbrook and Schroder change roles is possible but also said \u201cwe\u2019re considering everything.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is about us playing at a high level,\u201d Christie said. \u201cFor 24 minutes, probably 30, that\u2019s not enough. We need a 48-minue effort to win in this league, especially against a team like that. That\u2019s a championship-level team. You can\u2019t play for stretches. We have to go get it done, period.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Hawks enter the second contest of a four-game trip on a high note. Vit Krejci came off the bench to establish career highs of 28 points and eight 3-pointers as Atlanta notched a 105-102 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday night.<\/p>\n
The Hawks overcame a 17-point deficit, with Krejci sparking the comeback. He missed just 2 of 10 3-point attempts.<\/p>\n
\u201cOnce I hit those three 3s in a row, that\u2019s when I started feeling really good,\u201d said Krejci, whose final trey was a straightaway bank with 36 seconds left that gave the Hawks a seven-point lead.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe needed this spark from Vit,\u201d Atlanta big man Kristaps Porzingis said afterward. \u201cWe just didn\u2019t have it early in the game. But when Vit came in, he hit a few of those 3s and you saw not only his confidence, but the team\u2019s confidence just kept on building.\u201d<\/p>\n
Krejci also had 17 points two nights earlier when the Hawks rolled to a 122-102 home win over the Los Angeles Lakers.<\/p>\n
The productive performances came shortly after Atlanta coach Quin Snyder had a conversation with the 25-year-old Czech and assured him he would see more playing time.<\/p>\n
Atlanta\u2019s Nickeil Alexander-Walker (back injury) is questionable for Wednesday\u2019s game. Star Trae Young (knee sprain) remains out and will miss at least two more weeks.<\/p>\n
