The Kings lose 129–102 to the Suns after keeping it close early but getting overwhelmed in the second half, where they were outscored 67-46. Sacramento falls to 8-27 on the season, matching the worst start through 35 games in the Sacramento era, last seen with the 2008–09 and 2010–11 teams.

We break down what went wrong in the second half, discuss Maxime Raynaud leaving the game with an injury, and talk about Keegan Murray’s bounce-back performance after a tough stretch offensively. We also look back at January 2011, the last time the Kings started 8-27, and compare this team to the 2008-09 group that went on to win just 17 games.
