The LA Clippers defeated the Sacramento Kings by a score of 104-87 in their fourth game of the 2017-2018 NBA preseason.

Led by Blake Griffin (18 points), Wesley Johnson (16 points), and Tyrone Wallace (16 points), the LA Clippers came away with a hard-earned victory against the Sacramento Kings, despite being shorthanded. The Clippers were missing starting point guard Patrick Beverley (knee soreness), (potential) starting shooting guard Austin Rivers (strained glute), starting small forward Danilo Gallinari (mid-foot sprain), small forward Sam Dekker (oblique strain), two-way forward Jamil Wilson (back spasms), and rookie guard Sindarius Thornwell (sprained shoulder) but still managed to handle the Kings by a considerable margin. Here are five takeaways/things you missed if you weren’t able to catch the Clippers’ win over the Kings.
