Bobcats-Kings Preview

The drama over the Sacramento Kings' fate could end next month. In the meantime, the Kings will try to put together some winning performances in front of their fans.

Sacramento will play 13 of its next 18 games at home beginning with Sunday's visit from the Charlotte Bobcats.

The NBA received an official offer on Friday from 24 Hour Fitness founder Mark Mastrov and billionaire Ron Burkle to buy the Kings and keep them in Sacramento. The current owners, the Maloof family, signed an agreement in January with a group led by hedge-fund manager Chris Hansen and Microsoft chief executive Steve Ballmer to sell a 65 percent stake in the team for $341 million.

That group has already petitioned the league to relocate the team to Seattle and restore the SuperSonics name. The NBA board of governors is expected to vote in mid-April on that bid.

Before that happens, Kings fans will get plenty of chances to see their team. Sacramento (20-40) will play seven of its next nine games on its own court and will try to avoid a fourth straight home loss to Charlotte (13-45) in the first of those.

The Kings enter this game having lost seven of eight and capped a 1-4 road trip with Friday's 130-102 defeat to San Antonio. Reserve Marcus Thornton had 25 points but Sacramento allowed the Spurs to shoot an opponent season-high 60.7 percent.

"It's only one game. I think we can bounce back on Sunday. We've just got to be ready to play," guard Tyreke Evans said. "It's an early game. We've got to get our rest and be ready to play."

Thornton is averaging 27.0 points over the last three games - 14.5 better than his season average - but leading scorer DeMarcus Cousins (17.2 per game) has combined for 22 in his last two.

Sacramento's biggest problem, however, has been a defense that is allowing an NBA-worst 116.3 points per game in 10 contests since Feb. 9.

A matchup with the Bobcats might help end those defensive woes. Averaging 93.2 points, Charlotte is among the league's least dynamic teams and had its worst scoring performance of the season in a 98-68 drubbing in Utah on Friday.

Byron Mullens (12 points) and Ramon Sessions (11) were the only players in double figures for the Bobcats, who had nine first-quarter points on 4-of-20 shooting. Charlotte ended up shooting 34.6 percent in its 21st loss in 25 games and fifth in a row.

"You just need to keep your head and keep fighting," Mullens said. "You just have to remember it's just a game. Just go out there and have fun. I know it's a job now, but you still have to go out and compete."

The Bobcats, loser in nine of 10 on the road, have dropped the past two matchups with the Kings, including a 97-93 defeat Jan. 19.

Evans hit the go-ahead layup with 1:19 remaining and combined with Isaiah Thomas for nine of the game's final 12 points. Thornton led five Kings in double figures with 18 points off the bench.

Salmons, Thompson lead Kings past Bobcats, 119-83

Posted Mar 03 2013 10:17PM

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) John Salmons has had some memorable games during his 10-year career. With his strong shooting against the Charlotte Bobcats, he added another to the list.

Salmons scored 19 of his 22 points in the third quarter and Jason Thompson had 18 points and 14 rebounds to lead the Kings in a 119-83 victory over the slumping Charlotte Bobcats on Sunday.

Salmons got the Kings going in the third quarter when they outscored the Bobcats 43-19 and took a 97-59 lead into the fourth. The point total was the most allowed in Charlotte franchise history and the most by the Kings this season.

"Anything he (Salmons) threw at the basket it went in," Charlotte coach Mike Dunlap said. "He can do that and we knew that about him. A lot of those shots were contested by us. But full credit to him."

Salmons scored all 19 points in the third in 4-minute stretch that included a four-point play. Salmons made 4 of 7 3s in the quarter and connected on all five free throws.

"When my teammates find me open and I'm in a rhythm, I have a lot of confidence that I'm going to knock the shots down," said Salmons, who left the game for good late in the third quarter.

Marcus Thornton also scored 18 points for the Kings, who made 13 3-pointers in halting a stretch of seven losses in the previous eight games.

According to Elias Sports Bureau, the last time the Kings won by 36 points or more was on Nov. 15, 2005, in a 119-83 victory over Utah.

"We caught them on a bad night and today was our day," said reserve center Chuck Hayes, who had 12 rebounds.

DeMarcus Cousins had 14 points, Tyreke Evans added 13 and Isaiah Thomas had 10 points and seven assists.

The Kings closed the first half with nine straight points, then opened the third quarter with a 10-0 run to extend their lead to 64-40. The advantage reached a high of 43 points early in the fourth quarter.

The Bobcats outscored the Kings 24-22 in the fourth quarter, which was about the only solace for Charlotte reserve Josh McRoberts afterward.

"It's what you got to do. It was ugly," McRoberts said. "You have to stay with it. You have to have a little bit of pride individually as a team. You don't come into a game thinking that's going to happen or wanting that to happen, but you've got to play hard."

Byron Mullens and Gerald Henderson each scored 12 points for the Bobcats. Charlotte, which has lost five straight, was outrebounded 60-31 and shot 36 percent. Kemba Walker had 11 points and six assists.

The slide continued for the Bobcats, who opened the season 7-5. They have now dropped 10 of 11 games on the road, 22 of 26 overall and appear headed for the league's worst record again.

Following a 1-4 road trip that dropped the Kings to 6-27 this season, Thompson said it felt good to be playing again in Sleep Train Arena.

"It's good to be home and not eating room-service food," Thompson said. "We play differently at home than we do on the road."

Thompson had one of his most efficient games of the season. He made 6 of 8 shots and added two steals in easily getting a double-double in just under 28 minutes.

This was the first home game since the announcement by Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson last week that a plan was in place to keep the Kings in Sacramento.

The NBA received an official offer on Friday from 24 Hour Fitness founder Mark Mastrov and billionaire Ron Burkle to buy the Kings. The announcement also came with a tentative plan to build a downtown arena.

In January, the Maloof family, the current owners, signed an agreement with a Seattle group led by hedge-fund manager Chris Hansen and Microsoft chief executive Steve Ballmer. The NBA board of governors is expected to vote in mid-April on that bid.

Leading by 14 points at halftime, the Kings stretched their lead quickly as the Bobcats continued to struggled offensively in the third quarter. Thomas made a pair of 3s to highlight a 15-2 run that gave Sacramento a 69-42 lead with 8:31 remaining in the period.

A year ago in a shortened season, Charlotte posted a 7-59 record, the worst winning percentage (.106) for a season in NBA history.

Cousins, Thompson and Thornton all had 12 first-half points for Sacramento, which led 54-40. Thornton made a pair of threes and had 10 points in the second quarter.

After taking a nine-point lead at the 3:17 mark of the first quarter, the Bobcats were outscored 38-15 the reminder of the first half. The Bobcats shot 4 of 17 in the second quarter when they were outscored 27-13.

NOTES: It was the first game in uniform for center Cole Aldrich, who came to the Kings following a trade with Houston that also included Toney Douglas and Patrick Patterson. Aldrich played 16 minutes and had three points and five rebounds ... It was an exciting end of the first half for the Kings, who had a spectacular dunk by Cousins followed by a buzzer-beating 3-pointer from Evans. ... Mullens, Charlotte's center, had 10 points in the first half, but zero rebounds.

Notebook: Kings 119, Bobcats 83

James Ham, For NBA.com
Posted Sun Mar 03, 2013 9:37 PM - Updated Sun Mar 03, 2013 9:37 PM

THE FACTS: After a rough 1-4 road trip, the Sacramento Kings returned home and crushed the Charlotte Bobcats by the final score of 119-83 Sunday.

John Salmons scored a game-high 22 points in just 30 minutes of action for the Kings (21-40). Jason Thompson cleaned house down low, finishing with 18 points on 6-for-8 shooting and grabbing a game-high 14 rebounds. Marcus Thornton led the Kings bench with 18 points on 7-for-11 shooting in the blowout. Gerald Henderson and Byron Mullens kept the game interesting early and finished with 12 points each, but the Bobcats (13-46) had no answer for the Kings offense tonight.

THE STAT: Salmons single-handedly matched the Bobcats output in the third quarter, scoring 19 of his 22 points in just 10 minutes of action after the half.

TURNING POINT: The Kings were able to get some separation right before the intermission, but in the third quarter, they outscored the Bobcats 43-19 and took a 38 lead into the fourth.

QUOTABLE: "He made open shots and he made tough shots. He was hot tonight."

-- Kemba Walker on Salmons' big night

HOT: Salmons caught fire in a big way during the third quarter, scoring 19 points on 5-for-8 shooting and 4-for-7 from long range before taking a seat with two minutes remaining in the period.

NOT: Ramon Sessions torched the Kings for 16 points in 29 minutes off the bench last time these two teams met. This afternoon in Sacramento, he scored just four points on 0-for-5 shooting in 18 minutes.

GOOD MOVE: The Kings fed the hot-handed Salmons in the third and he didn't let them down.

BAD MOVE: Salmons came in on a major hot streak, hitting 16 of his previous 22 3-point attempts. The Bobcats left him open tonight and he continued that trend, finishing 5-for-10 from behind the arc.

NOTABLE: The Kings' 36-point margin of victory is the teams largest since November 15, 2005, when they beat the Utah Jazz by the exact same 119-83 score.

QUOTABLE II: "We're going to continue to see what we need to do, strategically, but we didn't want to just come away second. There's no prize for coming away second. We've got to figure out a way to keep the team here in Sac."

-- Mayor Kevin Johnson on his efforts to keep the Kings in Sacramento
