OPENING TIP
As far as this season goes, the Cavaliers are a mystery from night to night and not a team you can pick to win. When they put four quarters together, theyre actually pretty enjoyable and have a chance against anyone. But that happens about twice a month. Otherwise, they need to rely on their opponent not playing well. Tonight, theyre playing a similar team in the Kings -- young, talented, maddening. The Cavs have lost two straight and the Kings four.

Pregame notes:
This appears to be the Cavs final game in Sacramento, as the Kings are preparing for an ownership change and move to Seattle.
Tyreke Evans didnt play in the Kings win in Cleveland on Jan. 2. He likely will tonight, and possibly even start in place of Garcia. Basically, the hits just keep on coming for the Cavs.
Aaron Brooks (flu) is questionable for the Kings. Brooks turns 28 today.
This is the Cavs 13th back-to-back of the season. They havent fared well on second nights. (Or too many firsts, for that matter.)
Kings rookie forward Thomas Robinson has grabbed 10 or more rebounds in each of the last three games.
The Kings are 11-3 when leading at half, but just 2-22 when trailing (and 1-22 when trailing after three quarters).

Cousins, Kings earn high-scoring win over Cavs

Dirk gets shut down by old-man security guard
It's pretty funny to see this guy's attempt at being a hard-ass without cracking a smile while Dirk dicks around with him.
Being a Kings security guard can't be an easy task -- I'm sure they're always on high alert because DeMarcus Cousins could snap at any time and choke anyone in the building.
It was pretty funny that both announcers noted the security guard...
