There is not much for the Sacramento Kings to be happy about this season. Aside from taking things in a new direction after trading De’Aaron Fox and bringing in Zach LaVine, the Kings have taken a major step back from the playoff contenders they were supposed to be.

AJ Johnson and Bub Carrington scored 19 points apiece for the Wizards (17-59), who have the second-worst record in the NBA. Tristan Vukcevic came off the bench to post 17 points and eight rebounds, helping the Wizards win despite missing five of their top seven scorers due to injuries.

There were three key areas that the Washington Wizards capitalized on that helped them earn their 17th win of the season.
