The Kings owner has picked a side in the Drake-DeRozan beef
For the third time in their last four games, Murray was able to record a double-double. He set a new season-high for rebounds and had his best scoring performance since the season opener. Keegan's usage hasn't taken much of a hit this year despite the addition of DeMar DeRozan, and he has been far more effective on the glass, averaging a career-high 8.3 rebounds per game. His 3-point percentage is down (31.4%), so once he gets his shot going, he'll be able to put up the best numbers of his young career.
The Kings entered the fourth quarter down four points. Then the King of the Fourth took over. He scored 11 of his 27 in the final frame, and Sacramento outscored Toronto 33-14 to pull away and win the game. DeRozan has fit in flawlessly with his new team, and they've now won five of their last six games. He has scored at lesat 20 points in every game this season, and he has at least 25 in four straight. He's also providing more 3-pointers than we're accustomed to, as he has hit six over their last four games. We'll see if he can keep it up with the Clippers coming to town on Friday.
