The Kings went into Sunday’s game against the Rockets with their hopes to make a run to a playoff play-in scenario all but over. They had fallen to last among the Western Conference teams in the restart with just one win in their first five games. But they also considered the experience valuable compared to the teams that were excluded from the seeding games.
“The bubble hasn’t gone the way we were hoping it would for us,” Kings coach Luke Walton said. “This is still great opportunities for us. We have to take full advantage of this. With so much uncertainty, we don’t know when we’ll be playing again. These last three games are a great chance to continue to grow and to push.
“You get to this time of the year and we’re playing against mostly playoff teams and you look around the bubble and those teams that are making those plays, those teams that have been in the playoffs before are finding ways to win most nights. We’re not there, yet. But it’s good to go through this and feel it and see it.”
Even between games, they believe it has been beneficial to be in the bubble compared to the teams that were excluded.
“The experience together has been great,” Walton said. “We’ve had more practice time than we had through most of the season. Playing on this playoff level and the intensity as far as every possession, all those types of things, for us as a team is great. It’s also good for the coaching staff to see where we’re at and make adjustments and improvements.”
