Owner Real Deal Posted January 2, 2013 Author Owner Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 http://sports.cbsimg.net/u/photos/basketball/nba/img21474844.jpg SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- With the rest of the Kings' backcourt banged up, Isaiah Thomas is making the most of his opportunity to start. Thomas scored 27 points in his second start in the past six weeks and made one of Sacramento's two four-point plays in the second half as the Kings handed the Boston Celtics their third consecutive lopsided loss on a California road swing, 118-96 on Sunday night. "That guy has an infectious personality," Kings coach Keith Smart said. "He has that magnetism that brings players and people around to him. He brought that energy to start the game off right with him in the starting lineup. All our guards do a great job, but what he's been able to do is kind of give us a little injection of the steam that we need. He's done that, plus he's making his shots." Thomas got the chance to start in part because Aaron Brooks (left ankle) and Tyreke Evans (left knee) are sidelined. The Kings also lost Marcus Thornton to a sprained left ankle during the game but it didn't hurt them as they had their second-highest scoring game of the season and had at least 28 assists for the fourth consecutive game. DeMarcus Cousins, in his second game back from a team suspension, made Boston pay for its double teams by posting 12 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists for his first career triple-double. John Salmons added 23 points off the bench and Jason Thompson scored 20 as Sacramento won its fourth consecutive home game.http://www.cbssports.com/nba/gametracker/recap/NBA_20121230_BOS@SAC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
