I still think the Kings will make this a series, but it certainly doesn’t look promising after their dismal performance in game one. The Spurs scored 73 points in the first half, destroying Sacramento, 122-88. Tony Parker outplayed Mike Bibby, scoring 25 points on 9-15 shooting while dishing four assists. Earlier in the week, Ron Artest guaranteed a series victory, but didn’t play terribly well shooting 7-21 from the field in route to 16 points.
Look for a strong game from the Kings in game two. If they get blown out again, the chances of an Artest meltdown increase exponentially.
