On April 4, 2022, Beijing time, the Golden State Warriors played away to the Sacramento Kings, and finally the Warriors scored in double figures with 5 people, taking the Kings 109-90 lightly, winning two consecutive wins at the same time, but also ending the opponent's two-game winning streak!
It is worth mentioning that after losing this game with the Warriors, the Kings also officially announced that they did not qualify for the playoffs, which is also their 16 consecutive years of not entering the playoffs, becoming the team that has maintained this embarrassing "record" for the longest time in NBA history. I don't know why, before the league's first cousins, after fox, Barnes and other excellent players to lead the team, but the Kings have never been able to enter the playoffs.
Especially in recent years, the Kings lineup has Fox, Barnes, Holmes, Hield and other players, the team has never been able to play in the playoffs, and the former assistant coach Walton has a lot to do with it, in his coaching philosophy is very advocating "egalitarianism", it is clear that such tactical thinking is not suitable for this Kings team, but also limits the play of many players. Perhaps because of the perennial inability to make the playoffs, the Kings also began to get angry, and even made a decision that surprised fans this season, they packed the team's potential star, Harry Burton, to the Pacers, and also hitched a ride with the team's sixth man, Hield, in exchange for Players such as Sabonis.

After being traded to the Pacers, Halliburton was immediately groomed as the core of the team, playing in 23 games for the Pacers, averaging 17.3 points and 9.8 assists per game, shooting 49.1% from the field, shooting 40.9% from three-point range, and shooting 2.3 three-pointers per game. The King did not think about his future at all, to know that the Fox they trusted so much has almost been fixed, his ability can only lead the King to such a height, on the contrary, Haliburton is younger than Fox, taller than Fox, the most important Halisburton's offensive means are far stronger than Fox, the assist ability is not bad at all, the ability to score is also improving, I don't know what the Pacers' management thought!
