Check out how the Twitter world reacted when watching the Sacramento Kings go up against the Los Angeles Lakers last night.

The Sacramento Kings and Los Angeles Lakers faced off in Las Vegas yesterday where the purple and white fell short by a score of 75-69. As a result, the Kings have fallen to a record of 1-2 for their preseason campaign.

Overall, the game was sloppy for both teams to say the least. Both offenses lacked execution on offense for the majority of the game which resulted in many turnovers and a low-scoring contest.

Last night was not an ideal match for the Kings, and their play resulted in many people within the NBA and Kings’ communities to take their thoughts and analyses of the team via social media.

With that being said, listed down below are some Twitter reactions that the A Royal Pain team was able to gather up pertaining to the Kings’ performance last night.

REACTIONS

FINAL THOUGHTS

Obviously, the Kings’ fanbase was not pleased after watching their team perform yesterday. The offense was nonexistent, the youth struggled, and De’Aaron Fox had to leave the game early due to a back injury.

Although last night was discouraging for the Kings, it should be expected due to their current situation. With the team in the beginning stages of a major rebuild, it is expected that the purple and white will face many growing pains throughout this upcoming season.

The Kings are new and inexperienced but have a ton of young talent which could make them special in the next few years. The team will have the chance to redeem themselves tonight on their home court against the Portland Trailblazers.
