Invaluable experience for Peyton Watson tonight. Logged 27 minutes vs. Suns and Kevin Durant, closed the 4th of a competitive game. And the thing is he played really well. Only Nuggets player with a positive +/-. Two blocks. Great defensive moments. The future might be bright. – 12:52 AM

However, if my math is correct, the Kings need just one more win to clinch the division. Very likely at home Sunday against the Spurs. – 12:51 AM
