It’s the kind of challenge this team will face nightly for the still undetermined stretch they’re about to play without Davis, who covered up a lot of weaknesses but none more than at the defensive end. With a guard-heavy roster that was also missing Russell Westbrook and Austin Reaves, the margins were already razor-thin. The Kings blew the doors off with clever adjustments in the middle quarters.
