Kings Fight Back but Fall to Celtics | Sacramento Kings News

The Sacramento Kings clawed back from a brutal start—missing 18 of their first 19 shots and going scoreless for nearly seven minutes—to make it a close game against the Boston Celtics, but ultimately fell short 82-76. Boston’s Hugo Gonzalez dominated with a double-double (24 pts, 10 reb, 5 ast), while John Tonje added 18. Kings rookie Alex Karaban shined with 21 points and 8 rebounds, hitting 5 of 7 threes, while Emanuel Sharp and Adam Flagler also scored in double figures. Missing key players like 7th overall pick Darius Acuff Jr., Nique Clifford, and Maxime Raynaud likely hurt their early offense. The Kings finish Summer League Friday against the Charlotte Hornets, hoping to bounce back after a tough loss with a strong finish.
