And the Sacramento Kings are now heading to Las Vegas with plenty of momentum after knocking off the Milwaukee Bucks in the final California Classic game last night, 95 to 89.
You got Nick Clifford continuing to show the development that he did over the off-season so far.
And yes, it's only been three games in the California Classic, but we got a lot to talk about because the Kings did wrap up the California Classic last night, on Monday, undefeated, which really doesn't matter, 3-0.
And then you got the biggest story from yesterday, the Kings have waived six-time All-Star DeMar DeRozan.
Marquel Sutton led the way last night with 24 points, six rebounds, continuing to make a strong case for maybe that last two-way spot or a spot on the Stockton Kings.
Darius A cup-- Acuff Jr. added another impressive performance, much better in my opinion, than the first game on Saturday.
Last night, 22 points, three assists, two blocks, and a steal while knocking down four of his nine three-point attempts.
Dillon Caldwell, what can you say about Dillon? He stuffed the stat sheet for the, for the Kings last night.
12 points, 12 rebounds, four steals, four blocks, showing that defensive versatility that we as fans are so much excited about and what made us excited about Dillon last season in his rookie year.
Across these two games, Acuff has averaged 23 and a half points, 3.5 assists, and he made winning plays in both of those games in clutch moments.
In game one, he delivered the game-sealing assist to Nick Clifford that knocked down the game-winning three.
And then last night, 'cause he didn't play Sunday, last night he buried the game-sealing three in the clutch, in crunch time.
And that's what you want from your point guard, someone who embraces the moment when the game is on the line.
And how many times have we-- did we see it in his freshman year at Arkansas? He lives for those mo- moments.
The three-point shooting bounced back from the first game in a big way as well.
Going from one for nine in, on, in Sa- in Saturday's game on 4th of July to four for nine against the Milwaukee Bucks.
