It\u2019s hard,\u201d he started. \u201cBut understand, and we understand, that we\u2019re not there yet. But we\u2019re about to work at it like crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sacramento started its season 3-7 and was fresh off allowing 144 points to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>He echoed a similar sentiment to the one he shared after the loss. \u201cWe\u2019re gonna play to a standard.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, when I see the hate, the haters, the fakers, all you guys, you keep that energy,\u201d he continued. \u201cAnd while you\u2019re doing that, eventually, we\u2019re gonna be coming. The King Show.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Well, the visiting Denver Nuggets had the best seat to Wednesday night\u2019s show in Golden 1 Center as they faced off against the Kings.<\/p>\n<p>You could say they stole the show, even, leaving California\u2019s capital with a 122-108 win. Nikola Jokic had his typical MVP-caliber performance with 35 points, 15 rebounds, and seven assists.<\/p>\n<p>Despite a promising first half from Sacramento, they weren\u2019t able to get the job done.<\/p>\n<p>Six Kings players tallied double-digit points in their efforts, shooting 48.2 percent from the field as a group. Conceding 15 offensive rebounds, leading to 23 second chance points, while failing to limit Jokic (and hardly double-teaming him).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sactownsports.com\/59909\/kings-fall-122-108-to-visting-nuggets\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Kings fight, but utlimatley fall 122-108 to visting Nuggets<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Upcoming Sacramento Kings schedule for the 2025-26 season<\/p>\n<p>Wednesday, November 12th\u00a0\u2013 vs. Atlanta Hawks \u2013 7:00 PM PT<br \/>\nFriday, November 14th\u00a0\u2013 @ Minnesota Timberwolves \u2013 1:00 PM PT<br \/>\nSunday, November 16th\u00a0\u2013 @ San Antonio Spurs \u2013 1:00 PM PT<br \/>\nWednesday, November 19th\u00a0\u2013 @ Oklahoma City \u2013 5:00 PM PT<br \/>\nThursday, November 20th\u00a0\u2013 @ Memphis Grizzlies \u2013 5:00 PM PT<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Thank you for reading\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/sactownsports.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">SactownSports.com<\/a>.
