Kings’ deadly 3-point accuracy buries suddenly struggling Nuggets
Posted by GameSetMatch on 29th December 2009
The revamped Sacramento Kings won only 11 home games a year ago in posting the worst record in the NBA.
Win No. 11 this year at home was a special one, 106-101 over the struggling Denver Nuggets on Monday night. It comes after the youthful Kings lost back-to-back games in overtime at home to Cleveland and the Lakers.
Andres Nocioni made four 3-pointers and scored a season-high 21 points for Sacramento.
With standout rookie Tyreke Evans nursing a sore ankle in street clothes, the Kings produced another strong effort against an elite team, defeating the Northwest Division-leading Nuggets and improving to 11-5 at home.
“This team has a lot of personality and plays with confidence and energy,” Nocioni said. “We lost two tough games to Cleveland and the Lakers, but we still came here ready to play tonight.”
