Pistons Repel Kings In Victory

"The third quarter was the key to tonight's game," Sacramento coach Rick Adelman said. "They got their lead up to 10-15 points and it was just too much for us to overcome."

Kings' heart missing strong beat

Kings coach Rick Adelman said he believed his team played hard but couldn't make shots.

But on a night like that, a team with aspirations of competing seriously in the playoffs might have responded to its poor shooting by playing harder and more aggressively. Instead, the Kings kept waiting for the next shot to fall. And as their bus drove out of The Palace, they still were waiting.

"We didn't play any defense, and we came out flat," Thomas said. "I don't have an answer for why we came out flat, but I know it's a good thing we have another game (Friday night) against Cleveland."
