Over 20 points in this one and look Mike they got things done that is exactly what we kept talking about going into this game is are you going to get things done against a team that you’re supposed to take care of business against and it all started off the way they started the
Game they had intensity in the game they were playing with urgency um and Mike I’m cutting you off because we’re going Courtside baby we got domas the bonus again domas can you hear me down there yeah I can hear you it’s a b we’re excited to have you here thanks

Played them at home a week ago or something and uh we just had to come out here with a whole different energy uh de delas you’ve been on of tear the last 20 games 20 straight double doubles how are you able to be so consistent you know I just go out there
And do my job you know that’s what the team needs me to do you know and um it’s the game we love so we go out there and just have fun Keegan had 25 points on 18 shots what does it mean to your team when he is playing that aggressive um
It’s great you know it’s great we have a lot of plays that go towards him and when he’s feeling hot you know we just keep we just keep running them going at him you know and uh he’s making good shots tough shots you know and when he
Gets hot you know it’s it’s great for the team on Friday you play one of the best teams in the league in Philadelphia how confident are you guys going into into playing the 76ers uh we’ve been playing a bit better you know and um as long as we bring that
Energy and fight you know I think we’ll be good you know we have a day to rest tomorrow and then really lock in for this game well go enjoy this win with your team we appreciate you joining us domas great game course thank you guys I appreciate it thank you all right that
Was damont sabonis and man really glad we got that interview hey uh it’s so fun because now it’s time to light the beam after a king’s win and this beam is brought to you by Northwest exterior Simply the Best trust Northwest wow we can see that all the way from the
NBC Studios that’s beautiful isn’t it is is there anything better than that purple beam that shoots up in the sky Mike no I I like it it was a great great thing to do I mean cuz now everybody knows even if you’re not watching the game you could see they won there’s so
Many people that go oh I was driving home over the holidays and I go you know is that a holiday party couldn’t watch the game but I knew the Kings won because the purple be great idea it’s a great I mean that’s you know probably part of the reason why the king’s uh
Organization won franchise of the year um a lot of great things to talk about tonight because we talked about this team taking care of business you look down their starting group though and Kevin herder you go one minute what happened there well if you’re box score watching you’re probably disappointed
But if you’re actually watching the game and you saw in the first 40 seconds looked like he tweaked his ankle uh there early on after the jump maybe even on Keegan Murray’s foot so he went out he went straight back to the locker room he did not come back he was ruled out
For the rest of the game it was tough losing him but it felt like the team found a way to just rally through and really fight through and get this win other people that didn’t have him played in a while came in stepped in and that’s what a professional team’s bench is
Supposed to do when somebody goes down somebody fills in and that’s exactly what they did well let’s talk about the Dominator now because we obviously just talked to him after this game we’re talking about how he had 24 points 10 rebounds another double double he even
Knocked down a three he was one of two from outside nine of 13 from the field in his 28 minutes I mean Mike this is just what you want to see him dominating I don’t understand how you don’t double team him you know I mean he’s watching
Every game and it’s just just like they try to play him one-on-one and it’s almost impossible to do and I mean he’s playing defense right there but I mean he just does so much stuff offensively play 20 M 28 minutes tonight three three assists away from a triple double again
So I mean he comes out he gets the job done yeah I mean we saw in some of these highlights some of those assists and you look at that like he like you just said seven assists to finish off this night he’s just making everybody better let’s
Get straight to King social uh because everyone’s tweeting and putting out threats about domas sa bonis and our guy Frankie he said uh domas joins Oscar Robertson as the only player in franchise history with multiple double double streaks of 20 plus games domas has a had a 23 game
Streak last season from December 4th to January 23rd I mean that’s a great number that’s great that’s a great company to be with you know Oscar Robins that’s a great company to be with I mean he just comes out every day you know he’s going to get it it’s like it’s a
Given it’s wild to think about sometimes when we’re like if he didn’t get a double double then he’s not having a good game or sometimes even when he has a double double we’re talking about wow that still wasn’t his best game he’s always showing up for his team and I’m
Just so glad that this King squad has him let’s get to our Garner Roofing play of the game and it’s obviously brought to you by Garner rofy we’ve got you covered all right you domos the ball going down the middle of the paint mik come on I mean you think he’s going to
Lay it up I mean he does a lot of layups when he goes in there but I mean he knew he was going there he was going there with vengeance today and and that’s what he was he finish the basket I love the flex at the end of the Throwdown you’re
Seeing that a little bit more from him I mean he’s a fiery guy he plays with a lot of emotion and there’s players out there where their emotion comes off I mean I’m not going to name anyone but it comes off as fake right where it’s just
Like ah you’re fake tough guy you’re fake emotion guy that’s like all about you domas he does it you can feel it spread through the team you don’t see him do it much but I mean when he does it you could tell like you say you could
Tell it means something I love to see it well let’s talk a little bit more about Keegan Murray now another guy that scored over 20 points he had 25 on the night uh 11 of 18 from the field he made three of seven from Beyond The Arc and
Hey you still love to see this he crashed the boards six rebounds three assists and a block what did you like about Keegan tonight I like that he wasn’t settling for the three this time you know there’s a few plays that we got that we’re going to show you that he
Caught the ball in other games he would he was pulled up for a three-pointer but he was taking a conscious effort to go to the basket get layups take the ler guy inside and score easy baskets Mike when Keegan Murray is aggressive and that’s why I was asking domos about that
Cuz I’m like when he is aggressive this team is just so much better even if he’s having an off night you go you need that guy to shoot the ball you need that guy putting the ball on the floor and creating something becoming that threat and I look around
The league and I look at all these trade rumors and everything that we keep talking about I go if that guy takes a leap are you really are you could depend on him to become a future star do you think that I think so I mean he like
He’s on a good team to where he doesn’t have to be the the the Superstar right now yes you know he’s behind two people right now that are allar you know probably former Hall of Famers um they are going to be Hall of Famers and it’s
Just easy to fit in you know you’re playing the third fiddle and you just got to go play basketball yeah no and that I mean I I I think too though where when I do talk about Keegan you know and being aggressive on the offensive end
Just seeing the leap he’s taken on the defensive end and we’ve talked about that so many times and everyone goes okay we’ve talked about this yeah he contest shy he can stay with guards all those things this is his second year in the league and if he can keep improving
On top of what he has right now I mean what what more or when you look around the NBA do you want in a player you got youth you got a two-way guy you got a guy I mean I wasn’t going to say like necessarily a leader but a leader by
Example right because he’s not going to be vocal I mean he doesn’t have to right now you know I mean he has he has two Allstars are ahead of him that will do that for him like all he really has to do is just go out and play whatever he
Wants to do you know he took the most Shots tonight took 18 shots and they wer in all threes you know I mean I’d like to see him aggressive by taking the ball to the basket not just getting shots up so another leader and this is someone
Who leads by example and is vocal dearen Fox what T night for him 19 points in his 28 minutes eight for 14 from the field three of seven from Beyond The Ark um you know you look at his free throws and he only had two attempts 0 for two
From the free throw line we always talk about free throws and how we want them to improve but it was like he in his 20 minutes wasn’t just attacking the basket he was knocking down the outside shot he was making other players look better still being that threat being able to
Collapse a defense what did you like from De on a night like this it looks like to me it looks like he’s coasting you know I mean I mean it looks like I mean it looks like it’s not coasting it just looks like it’s easy for him you
Know what I mean like he comes out you know didn’t look like he did much now he has 28 minutes 8 for 14 19 points I think I’m just so used to him doing the 40 point games and the 30 point games and him just taking over the games
That’s what I’m used to seeing so when I see games like this and he’s like deferring to the other guys it’s kind of like H it’s too easy I don’t want it’s going to be easy game tonight so that’s what it looks like to me and I like when
He can depend on his other guys you’re seeing here the big three are balling tonight and Charlotte all their numbers right there but that’s it that’s it Mike if there’s Knights that he’s able to not have to it’s not about put putting forth all this effort but it’s about not
Having to put all this energy out there on a second night of back toback after you gave it all on that first night you go all right who else is going to follow up with me and you’re seeing these 20 as well so I mean like it was a it was a
Good night off for him I’d say I mean 20 points 20 points you’re you’re considered great if you get 20 points it’s off night it’s an off night for you so okay okay you you heard it from Mike baby first hey but let’s send these guys to the allstar game okay let’s send
