This is the most life we've seen from the Kings all night, and it's behind the play of Devin Carter, Isaiah Stevens, Maxime Raynaud, Dylan Cardwell, and Nique Clifford.

Sacramento has outscored Toronto 30-20 thus far in the 4th and are within 9 with 3:57 to go.

Last season, the Sacramento Kings allowed 16+ made three-point field goals in 31 games (6th-most in the NBA).

Tonight, they have allowed the Raptors to shoot 16/28 (57%) from deep, and we are still in the 3Q.

Preseason, yes. But not ideal.

Very early observation, but the Kings look clunky on offense.

5 assists on 14 made baskets. 8 turnovers.

Toronto is 8/10 from three-point range through 12 minutes of play.

Kings basketball really is back.

The Kings continue to be linked to Russell Westbrook, even though they have a logjam at the guard spots.

Schroder - Westbrook - Carter
LaVine - Monk- Ellis

Something has to give if this signing happens.

Sacramento is looking to become the first team to secure three NBA Summer League titles.

Nique Clifford's ability to self-create has really been impressive in Summer League, but he's also finding his open teammates as well.

He's up to 12 points and 6 assists (0 turnovers) over 22 minutes today.

Maxime Raynaud is once again the loudest player on the floor. He emphasized the importance of communication following Thursday's game, and he's been directing traffic tonight.

Have to wonder how loud it will be to hear him and Domantas Sabonis on the floor at the same time.

Sacramento led by 18 points after the first, but Chicago outscored them by 14 points in the second quarter to make this a four-point ballgame at the break.

Quick start for Devin Carter, who is letting it fly early from the perimeter and is active on the defensive end.

8 PTS | 2 REB | 2 STL | 3/3 FG | 2/2 3PT | 4 MIN

Raynaud shines in Sacramento Kings' Summer League opener Sacramento Kings rookie center Maxime Raynaud stole the show on Thursday as the Beam Team started Las Vegas Summer League with a W.

“It’s on me. I have to come out from the jump and be better."

Nique Clifford overcame a slow start and took over late, while Maxime Raynaud set the tone early in the first showing of the summer for Sacramento: sactownsports.com/56870/sacram...

Kings win their Summer League opener.

Maxime Raynaud was impressive. Touch around the basket and ability to space the floor will be fun to watch.

Nique Clifford shook off a rough start to finish with 17 points, 4 rebounds and 2 steals.

Reigning NBA G League Finals MVP Mason Jones has picked up where he left off. Doing a bit of everything.

14 PTS | 4 REB | 5 AST | 2 STL | 5/10 FG | 28 MIN

Back-to-back impressive dishes from Maxime Raynaud, followed by another score in the paint. Dominant start for the 42nd pick.

Maxime Raynaud has shown some physicality early, and it's already translated into second-chance and fast-break opportunities.

6 PTS | 2 REB | 1 STL | 3/3 FG | 3 MIN
