There’s a whole generation of NBA players that don’t know what it’s like to face somebody Sacramento Kings winners. That kind of tradition seems to be coming to an end, or at least beginning a new and exciting chapter in the history of the California franchise. New fight, new win for Mike Brown’s men, this time against the Memphis Grizzlies 113-109.
A victory that extends the number of consecutive games without defeat to 7 for Sacramento, who begins to dream of more ambitious goals with each passing day. The victory is not easy at all, which was complicated in a few seconds for the Kings, who went from a 12-point lead with 3 minutes to go to praying that Ja Morant wouldn’t take the game to overtime.

A more than improved offensive performance, doing 5 flips in that last span, he put them on the ropes. Who knows what the outcome would have been had Morad not missed his free throws, but the victory was in the hands of the Californians for another night.
This win has a very special meaning for the Sacramento Kings and that’s it for the first time in 18 years he reached 7 consecutive victories. Since November 2004, the franchise has not consistently been able to string such a number of duels without a loss.
Then the captains of the team were none other than Chris Webber, Peja Stojakovic and Mike Bibby. A team that finished that 2004-2005 run 50-32 and falling in the first round to the Sonics (4-1).
