Game thread, Kings at Bucks, 7 pm, Bradley Center, Dec. 19, 2007
Quote:
Teams: Bucks (10-14) vs. Sacramento Kings (10-14).
When: 7 tonight.
Where: Bradley Center.
Broadcasts: TV - None. Radio - AM-620.
About the Kings: Turnabout is fair play. When the Bucks lost in Sacramento on Dec. 10, it was their final stop on a five-game trip. Now the Bucks catch the Kings on the end of a five-game trip. Since the Bucks last saw the Kings, they have lost in Boston, won in Philadelphia and lost in Washington. Sacramento won in New Jersey Tuesday night.
PLAYER TO WATCH
JOHN SALMONS, Kings: He filled in well as a starter for the first seven games of the season at small forward when Ron Artest was suspended and now in eight games at shooting guard after Kevin Martin went down with a groin injury. As a starter, Salmons is averaging 15.2 points and has scored 20 or more points seven times, including in a victory over Milwaukee earlier this season when he scored 22 points.
