On this postgame episode of the Kings Related Podcast, I break down the loss and discuss six major takeaways from the game, including another impressive performance from rookie Darius Acuff Jr., who finished with 22 points and 12 assists while going toe-to-toe with one of the NBA's elite players.
We also discuss Domantas Sabonis' double-double, Zach LaVine's scoring performance, De'Andre Hunter's continued improvement, Malik Monk's struggles, and Dylan Cardwell finally making his season debut.
