When the San Antonio Spurs beat the Sacramento Kings for the 11th consecutive time on Friday night, the result reflected what should happen when the team when the league’s best team meets the conference’s worst (record-wise). The final score (108-103) may have looked a little closer than it should, but nobody should really act surprised at the outcome.

Celtics Face Challenge As They Take On Tyreke Evans, Full-Strength Kings in Sacramento
Three weeks ago back in Boston, the Celtics easily took down a Sacramento team that was at less than full strength. Tyreke Evans, the reigning NBA Rookie of the Year, was out with a foot injury, and the Kings started Luther Head in his place. The C's won easily, 119-95. This time, though, Evans is back, and he's going to be a difference-maker. Despite battling both an ankle...
