The Sacramento Kings and Atlanta Hawks played the ultimate tank game on Wednesday night, and it may be fair to call it the worst game of the entire season. The Kings got absolutely stomped by a very bad 2-win Hawks team, 126-80.
That’s a 46-POINT LOSS TO ANOTHER TANKING TEAM. Who the heck wanted to watch that?
I'll watch just about anything NBA, but even I can't deal with Kings-Hawks in November.

Dewayne Dedmon scored 20 points on 9-of-10 shooting from the field. DEWAYNE DEDMON!
The Hawks sunk half of their 32 three-point shots and fired at 63 percent from the field for the game, despite having precisely zero All-Star caliber players.
On the other end, the Kings shot 35 percent from the field and had 29 rebounds for the entire game. That’s BAD!
Zach Randolph and George Hill were the only players in double figures.
Yikes!
Here’s the headline for our Kings team site, Sactown Royalty’s, recap:

And here’s what Twitter had to say about this brutal game:
In a battle for the title of the Worst Team in the NBA, the Kings are making it clear in no uncertain teams tonight. Down 40 to the Hawks!

The Hawks are not good enough to be up by 43 to anybody, so clearly the Kings are a really bad basketball team.

The Kings lost by 46 to the Atlanta Hawks. Imagine, the Hawks are in the locker room saying, "Man, those guys suck."
