Kings vs. Milwaukee Bucks at a glance
Kings vs. Bucks
THE PARTICULARS
- Where: Sleep Train Arena
- When: Monday, 7 p.m.
- TV/radio: CSNCA, 1140
- Records: Kings 20-27, Bucks 20-29
THREE KEYS
- 1. Better starts: The Kings have been coming out flat, and it has been costly. They have given up 73 first-quarter points in the last two games combined, creating deficits they couldn’t overcome.
- 2. Ball security: Turnovers were a major factor in Saturday’s loss at Memphis. Reducing that number begins with Rajon Rondo and DeMarcus Cousins, who handle the ball most.
- 3. Making hustle plays: To prevent Milwaukee from piling up second-chance points, the Kings must rebound better and avoid losing track of shooters off offensive rebounds.
