The Sacramento Kings (5 - 2) were beaten by the injury - plagued Oklahoma City Thunder (2 - 5) 101 - 93 on Sunday night at the Chesapeake Energy Arena. The Kings have been a pleasant surprise to this point in the 2014 season, but lost one on the road to a Thunder team who is dealing with all kinds of injury issues. This is a team who definitely has some serious talent in players like DeMarcus Cousins and Rudy Gay, for starters. Cousins put up 16 points (7 - 15 FG, 2 - 5 FT), with seven rebounds, four steals, two blocks and an assist, but had some foul troubles. Gay was the Kings' leading scorer on Sunday though, and posted a double - double with 23 points (9 - 19 FG, 1 - 6 3Pt, 4 - 4 FT) and 10 rebounds. He also chipped in six assists with two steals as well. The Kings are going to be on the road Tuesday against the Dallas Mavericks next. Not only are the Thunder without Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, but they've been forced to sign players just to have enough bench players to feel confident about their depth. Their most recent signing was Ish Smith, who played eight minutes and scored seven points (2 - 2 FG, 3 - 3 FT) with one assist. The Thunder were led offensively by point guard Reggie Jackson, who scored 22 points (6 - 19 FG, 1 - 5 3Pt, 9 - 10 FT), to go along with six assists and two rebounds. The Thunder used as much firepower as they had to beat the Kings, with nine players getting in on the action. The return of Jeremy Lamb recently has been a welcomed one, as he scored 17 points (5 - 13 FG, 2 - 3 3Pt, 5 - 6 FT) with nine rebounds and four assists. The Thunder will head to Milwaukee to take on the Bucks on Tuesday night next.
