Thanks to the game against the Celtics, Warriors SoS played jumped up from #6 to #2 in the NBA. Warriors remaining SoS fell from #25 to #28, I believe.
Elsewhere in the Pacific division: Kings are #1 in SoS played and #13 in SoS remaining; Lakers are #10 in SoS played and #6 in SoS remaining; Clippers are #13 in SoS played and #15 in SoS remaining; and Suns are STILL #30 in SoS played and #1 in SoS remaining. Even the game against the Thunder last night didn't even budge the Suns from both SoS categories.
Bulls beat the Kings 113-109. Chicago outscored Sacramento 36-18 in the 4th Q. After Sabonis fouled out, Bulls outscored the Kings 9-1 in the final three minutes to win the game. The three turnovers in crunch time certainly did not help.
33 points for DeRozan, 37 for White, and 20 for Dosunmu. 18 points and 21 rebounds for Sabonis, 20 points for Fox, and 10-12 points each for Barnes, Murray, Monk, and Huerter.
OKC should've traded one of their picks for a big or two to address their rebounding woes and their inability to score in the paint against elite rim defenders.
Anytime half our rivals lose it's a good thing.
If we continue to play like we are we'll finish sixth if that pattern holds.
If we finish out playing .500 ball, we weren't going far in the playoffs anyway.
Fantastic choke job by the Kings.

KB with a good take re: Wiggs

Basically, players police themselves, and if they felt like Wiggs' situation wasn't serious, we would've heard disgruntled leaks.
They’re all part of the millionaire club. Doesn’t seem to be much bad blood between them regardless of what these guys do.
And to further that it's certain clicks in said $ club that gets the royal treatment.
Dubs win! Sea Dubs move to 13-11, good for basically a tie for sixth in the West. Pat Spencer had 10 points in 31 min.
I guess we're back in 10th. however, we're 1.5 games back of Mavs and 2 games back of Kings.
Clippers lost (yay), Kings lost (yay), and Lakers are gonna win (boo). 2 out of 3 ain't bad, but we're gonna drop to #10 in the West again.
But gain a half game on the #7 seed :) only 2 games back.
If you told me this morning that I get to choose one of the Kings or Lakers to lose today... I might have picked the Kings for once. Thank you Bulls!
Man, lots of other teams blowing big 4Q leads this year too

Kings soiled the sheets tonight - kept turning the ball over in crunch time and couldn't stop the Bulls on the other end.

Their inability to rebound is a feature, not a bug! Or so I've been told...
Sabonis fouled out with 2:57 left to go in the 4th Q
Stupid Thunder...
You're not gonna win if you keep relying on jump shots.
Just ask Chuck or Phil!
How's it goink?
bulls within 4, with 3 mins left
Within 1! But remember, the Kings have the reigning CPOY!
tied!
Bulls take the lead!
Reigning CPOY with 2 clutch TOs and a super clutch missed 3PA, lol
Bulls up 4 with 4 seconds left after 2 clutch DeRozan FTs. Nice.
oh and 36 on the clock
CLUTCH KINGS FAIL!
If Okc gets matched up with Lakers first round, don't like Okcs chances
OKC has no answer for AD's defense.
They totally do! Just keep passing the ball around the perimeter! Drive halfway, don't draw help defense, and kick to a well defended player!
