Another thing Doug Christie deserves a lot of credit for:

The Sacramento Kings are playing confident, but not cocky. There's a fine line between the two.

In the past, coming off a win like the one in Boston, against a worse team on paper like Chicago, the Kings would get caught not playing their hardest.

Today's game wasn't perfect, but the Kings battled through poor shooting and a tiring pace, and then closed it down when it mattered most.

Qualities of a great team.
