Thunder Visit Kings in Sacramento
The Oklahoma City Thunder will visit the Sacramento Kings at Golden 1 Center on Wednesday evening.

The Thunder (19-10) have won two straight games, including a 121-96 rout of the Chicago Bulls on Monday evening. Russell Westbrook paved the way for his team's win, recording a triple-double and grabbing five steals. Paul George added 24 points and Steven Adams scored 19 in the win. The trio of stars has been integral to OKC's success this season, helping to establish the team as a two-way powerhouse. The Thunder has been particularly effective on the defensive end, owning the number one defensive rating in the league a third of the way through the season. Westbrook and George have combined to average 4.9 steals per game this season, while Steven Adams and Jerami Grant are blocking 2.4 shots per game in the front court.

Sacramento (16-14) saw its worst loss of the season on Monday, falling 132-105 to the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Kings have had an up-and-down season thus far, finding themselves at eighth in the Western Conference standings. Sacramento's middling season is a strong turnaround from its lottery finish last year, though. The team owes its success, at least in part, to breakout seasons from its young back court. Shooting guard Buddy Hield is averaging a career-high 19.3 points per game, while sophomore point guard De'Aaron Fox is scoring 17.9 points per game while dishing out a team-high 7.3 assists.
