Boasting a top-10 scoring offense while averaging over 114 points per game during the 2018-19 season, Sacramento's high-powered attack saw a renaissance with De'Aaron Fox, Buddy Hield, Bogdan Bogdanovic and Marvin Bagley III leading the way.

As the team tipped-off its preseason campaign in India against the Pacers, the young core looked to maintain that prowess while adding knew wrinkles from the Luke Walton-led schemes.

Sure enough, the offense continued to click as the purple and black dropped 131 points in their first preseason tilt, while catching the eye of former 76ers exec and creator of Cleaning the Glass basketball analytics website Ben Falk.

"Some clever Xs and Os from the Kings in their first preseason game," wrote Falk to start a thread of highlights breaking down the team's offensive performance.

From "drag screens" to "hammer sets" watch as Ben shares examples of how the Kings offense can continue to be a powerhouse in the coming season below:

Fans don't often get a chance to play basketball with former NBA stars, but sometimes, when they get the opportunity, they may not even know it.

Former Kings guard Mike Bibby was attending his daughter's volleyball practice when he stepped out onto an outdoor half-court to challenge two young players to a game of "21."

The moment was captured by his 20-year-old son, Michael, on Wednesday and shared to his Twitter account.

No. 10, in an effort to make the game seem fair, went by the pseudonym "Chris" while playing.

This may fly in Phoenix, but if the sharpshooting Kings fan favorite tried this in Sacramento, he'd have no chance trying to fool anyone.

You don’t have to be an NBA fan to appreciate a baby announcement. For Matt King, however, the two can be one in the same.

Using the starting lineup format that basketball fans have grown accustomed to, King created his own adorable version with pictures of his family, leaving one spot in the first five open for his new baby.

Matt, his wife Abby and his daughters Genesis and Georgia each have their own special skills, and we can’t wait to see what the newborn has in store for us in October.

Join us in wishing the King family a #SacramentoProud congratulations!

Following a highlight-filled victory on Monday led by No. 30, the third-year Kings guard amassed the attention of the nation, landing a spot on Twitter’s trending topics.

Fans reacted to Seth Curry’s impressive play throughout the night while teammates and coaches lauded the young guard’s performance postgame.

“He’s a heck of a player and he can do it all; he can shoot the ball, pass the ball. He’s got a bright future in front of him.” – Kosta Koufos

The 20-point, 15-assist effort marked Curry’s first-ever double-double, a career-high in assists and his sixth-consecutive double-digit scoring outing (9-of-10 overall). During the team’s recent 10-game stretch (six wins), Seth has averaged 15.7 points on 51 percent shooting, 3.7 assists and 2.4 rebounds per contest.

Meanwhile, Monday’s spectacular showing put him in rare company as one of nine NBA players this season to score at least 20 points while dishing out 15 assists – the first such instance from a Sacramento player since Beno Udrih achieved the rare feat in 2010.

“Man, he had a highlight game, a highlight show in one game. He was really good,” said head coach George Karl.

If the past month has been any indication, Curry is just beginning to showcase his abilities on the court.

“I just showed a different part of my game and guys were screening for me, finishing shots, stuff like that so they made me look good."
