Owner Real Deal Posted December 8, 2012 Author Owner Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Although Jimmer Fredette and Isaiah Thomas are rarely on the floor at the same time, the two reserve guards were paired in the fourth quarter Friday night and both played key roles in the Sacramento Kings' victory. DeMarcus Cousins had 17 points and 14 rebounds, Thomas also scored 17 points and Fredette added 15 to help the Kings beat the Orlando Magic 91-82. Fredette and Thomas have been typically vying this season for the same minutes. But trailing by two points entering the fourth, Kings coach put Fredette and Thomas in the backcourt with three other reserves - rookie Thomas Robinson, Chuck Hayes, and a third guard, Marcus Thornton. Sacramento outscored Orlando 29-18 in the fourth. It didn't help that the Magic shot 7 of 24 in the final quarter and were outhustled by the Kings, who outrebounded Orlando 17-9. "We played small ball and came to life," Smart said. After squandering an 11-point lead in the third quarter, the Kings regrouped in the fourth behind the strong play of their backups. Led by Thomas and Fredette, who both scored 11 points in the period, the reserves played for much of the final quarter and produced a 15-2 run that propelled Sacramento to consecutive wins for the second time this season.http://www.cbssports.com/nba/gametracker/recap/NBA_20121207_ORL@SAC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
