Rolling into the spiritual home of basketball, the Kings    had some lofty expectations for their road trip. Starting out 2-0, some fans (and perhaps players) were thinking 4-0 with just Indy and reeling Chicago left.

The Pacers, on paper, would seem to be the only real hurdle standing in the way, but last week’s home contest in which Indy lost by a single point- well, it would be a challenge.

The game started out great for Sacramento, who build a double digit lead early on. But in the end, the young Kings    were too tired from the back to back, and the Pacers ran away with the contest. Despite it all, De’Aaron Fox continued to shine.

The Kings    play Chicago Monday night at 5pm.
