What just happened? Kings fall to Spurs with a 22 point gap.

As we suspected, Paul Westphal has already submitted a new starting roster. Due to the game that Jeter had last game, he made a few switches to place him into the 2nd line spot.

Post-Game Interviews

Paul Westphal: "This game came down to the fact that they were a better team. We made stupid fouls, and played no defense. Ginobli was unstoppable and made impossible shots. You just can't win with that type of gameplay."

Manu Ginobli (Player of the Game): "I always enjoy games like these. Everything was clicking. I just couldn't miss, and the coach saw that. So they kept giving me the ball and I kept making it."

Tyreke Evans (King's Player of the Game): "Wanna see a game where the referees were playing against you harder than the other team, and every shot we attempted just didn't fall? Re-watch this game. Ridiculous."

Jon Ratski's Review
What just happened? Kings fall to Spurs with a 22 point gap.

Nothing the Kings threw out was working. In fact, the Kings didn't lead once in this game, and I don't even know where to begin. Sure, the referees were rough on the Kings. I mean, Jeter gets batted in the back of the head by Parker, and no call? Regardless of the referees, you just can't win when Ginobli is putting up 30 points, and shooting at 72%. It didn't matter how many people were on him. Ginobli is the kind of player who will make a shot even if you slap him in the face as he goes up.

So let's break down this game!

The Kings only made 28 of there 65 shots. That performance is just begging for a loss.
The Spurs out-rebounded the Kings 30 to 20.
No one could stop the Spurs down-low. 52 of their 85 came from the pain, where only 24 of the Kings 63 was down low.
Spurs fast break points blew away the Kings 19 to 2.
Eugene Jeter must have gotten a big head. He only shot 5-15.
Tyreke Evans did all he could to carry this team. 3-4 from down town and 8-16 from the field, with a block and 3 steals.
Demarcus Cousins came to play, 5-7 from the field.
Only three of the Kings players scored 10+ points, where 3 of the Spurs scored 10+ with Ginoblis 30+ game.
Richard Jefferson shot 100%, 6-6 FG, 3-3 3PT.
Spurs outscored the Kings in every quater, except for the 3rd.
