After losing 116-110 to the Nuggets, Kings veteran DeMar DeRozan and interim head coach Doug Christie put the officials on blast.
Sacramento enters a matchup against Denver as winners of three consecutive road games. The teams play Wednesday for the first time this season.
The frustration comes after the Kings put together one of their best defensive efforts in recent memory. They created a unique game plan to slow three-time MVP Nikola Jokic, using forwards Keegan Murray and Jake LaRavia to guard the 6-foot-11 center, while Jonas Valanciunas clogged the lane to prevent drivers to the basket.
One Kings player who has stepped up his game lately is Keegan Murray. He's started all season for the Kings and is averaging 12.4 points per game, but since trading De’Aaron Fox, Murray has started taking more shots and he’s red-hot heading into this matchup.
