Based on what he saw in a 132-122 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers after what he described as a “crazy 24 hours” following the firing of Mike Brown, interim coach Doug Christie thinks the Sacramento Kings are capable of turning things around

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Based on what he saw in a 132-122 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday night after what he described as a “crazy 24 hours” following the firing of Mike Brown, interim coach Doug Christie thinks the Sacramento Kings are capable of turning things around.

His biggest piece of evidence for that was how the Kings kept fighting, cutting a 20-point deficit in the fourth quarter to six before the Lakers closed things out.

“Part of my biggest message is letting them know that there’s a level of competition that we’re going to continue to have, and I was proud of that,” he said.

To break through, starting with snapping a losing streak that now stands at six games, Christie will need his team to tap into the same defensive intensity that allowed him to play 15 seasons in the NBA.
