We see hockey players spit out teeth pretty regularly. What we don't often see is them spitting out other parts of their mouth like Barclay Goodrow of the New York Rangers says he did after being hit in the face with a puck last week. Read: https://t.co/fP4WT6s795 https://t.co/9CflvxvEVH

The Kings seemingly always had an answer in the Nets' 131-118 loss at Golden 1 Center on Monday. And that was the theme of the night. #NetsWorld https://t.co/DAkUjQNotA https://t.co/SZzp9WfqpL
Nets lose 131-118. Kings made 25 threes and had 38 assists. Story of the night
Let it fly. The Kings went up against one of the best 3-point shooting teams in the league and put on a shooting display of their own. The Kings knocked down a stunning 25 triples on their way to a 131-118 win over the Brooklyn Nets. Here are six quick thoughts:
The Nets' three-game winning streak ends in Sacramento with a brutal 131-118 loss. Every time Brooklyn made a run, the Kings always had an answer. The Kings set a new franchise record for 3-pointers made in a game with 25. That's the second-most allowed in Nets history.
Keegan Murray with the baseline JAM! 🔥 https://t.co/fuF38ACk6F
Trey Lyles hits the Kings' 25th triple of the night.
Keegan Murray hits the Kings' 24th 3-pointer of then night, a new franchise record.
Late fourth quarter, and the Kings have hit more threes (23-of-40) than twos (21-of-46) in this game against Brooklyn. The 23 threes ties a franchise record that will likely fall in moments. Fox leads with five-of-nine on threes. They lead 121-104.
Kings have tied their franchise record of 23 made 3-pointers.
11-0 Kings run and counting. Anytime the Nets got close, this thing got away from them.
The Kings have now made 22 3s. That's the most the Nets have allowed in a game this season
Huge 3-ball from Trey Lyles. Nets answer back. 110-104 Kings with 6:03 remaining.

Keegan Murray 3. Kings just hit the Nets with a right cross. 89-74 lead. Murray has 19 points, but 13 here in the third.
Kings seem to have an answer for every Nets run.
Keegan Murray is starting to heat up here in then third. He's up to 11 points, 5 in the last minute or so.
Ice-cold start for the Nets in Sacramento. Trailed by 15 points early. But they fought back down the stretch of the second quarter to make it a 54-48 game at halftime. Brooklyn still has not enjoyed a lead in this game. Spencer Dinwiddie has a team-high 11 points.
Despite the Nets shooting just 40.5% from the field, they trail 54-48 in Sacramento. Kings are 11-20 on 3 Dinwiddie: Team-high 11 points, Cam Johnson 8 pts Monk: 14 pts for Kings off the bench Sabonis: 11 P/9R/5A

Monk with his third triple. kings are 10-of-14 from behind the arc. Fox, Monk and Lyles all have three makes from distance.
The Nets started this game as league leaders in 3-pt shooting % The Kings are 5-5 from deep to start this 2nd Q
Kings start the second quarter with a 9-3 run to extend their lead to 14 points. Jacque Vaughn takes a needed timeout.
If I was Jacque Vaughn, I'd probably call timeout too after letting the Kings start the 2nd Q 3-3 on 3s. Kings push this lead to 14 (35-21). Nets' 3-pt defense has been awful as the Kings are 8-12 from deep
Trey Lyles triple. Kings are 8-for-12 to start the night.
Lyles triple. Kings are 7-for-11 from deep to start the night.
The Nets are shooting 6-of-21 from the field through one quarter in Sacramento (28.6%) yet somehow only trail by eight points. No answer for De'Aaron Fox so far. Kings are controlling the pace and the glass (14-8).
Nets trail 26-18 after 1. A dreadful 1st Q shooting (28.6%). Bridges/Watford: 4 pts Fox: 3-5 on 3, Nets as a team: 2-7 on 3s
Kings lead the Nets 26-18 after 1Q. Fox has 9 points on 3-for-5 from long range. 5 points for Malik Monk off the bench.
Nets are shooting under 30% Sabonis has as many rebounds as the Nets (6) Only 14 points with 2:50 to go in the 1st And yet, Nets are only down 7. It could be worse. But it ain't pretty

Vincent Trocheck having himself a game tonight. Along with three slick primary assists, shot attempts are 14-10 in his minutes at 5v5 + NYR with the 11-5 edge in scoring chances (per @NatStatTrick).
Another assist for Vincent Trocheck, who now has three on the night. This one to Will Cuylle at the side of the net for the #NYR rookie's fifth goal of the season. 4-1 game.
Will Cuylle, the draft pick the Rangers used in the Lias Andersson deal makes it a three goal game, 4-1 NYR:
Cuylle increases the Rangers' advantage to 4-1 after a slick feed from Trocheck.
NYR Goal - Copley makes a heck of a first save, but Cuylle buries the second or third rebound. 4-1.
Johnny Brodzinski scores on the PP for New York, 3-1 NYR. lol
Brodzinski makes it 3-1 Rangers.
Jonny Brodzinski cuts to the middle of the zone and rips one top corner for a power-play goal. #NYR lead 3-1 with 8:28 left in regulation.
NYR Goal - Rangers get their second power-play goal of the game. Brodzinski cycles into the slot and rips a one-timer home. 3-1.
Jonny B strikes to make it 3-1 #NYR with 8:28 to play.
Vesey makes it Rangers 2-0 Kings. Bonino with some very deft playmaking.
Nick Bonino jumps and catches the puck at the blue line to keep it in, dishes to Jimmy Vesey and No. 26 buries it for the 2-0 #NYR lead
Nice play from Nick Bonino right after coming over the boards to snatch the puck out of the air and set up Jimmy Vesey for an important goal that increases the #NYR lead to 2-0.
Turnover leads to Vesey sneaking a puck five-hole on Copley, 2-0 NYR.
NYR Goal - Kings can't get it out of their zone and Vesey slots home two passes later. 2-0 Rangers.
Trocheck with a terrific look for Zibanejad on the PP, 1-0 #NYR. Seam pass by Panarin drew the LA PKer away from Zibanejad, Trocheck zipped the puck back across the seam
NYR Goal - Zibanejad opens the scoring with a PPG. Rangers strike first in a strength vs. strength special teams battle. 1-0, mid-second period.
Rangers convert on the PP with Doughty in the box, 1-0 NYR.
Rangers strike on the PP to snap the 5-plus period scoring drought. Panarin to Trocheck to Zibanejad for the one-timer and it's 1-0 #NYR.
#NYR PP1 working the zone well and Vincent Trocheck feeds Mika Zibanejad for a one-timer, 1-0
Best scoring chance for the #NYR so far (really the only noticeable chance) came from Trocheck off the rush with about 22 seconds to go in the period. LA was also called for tripping, so Rangers will head to the PP for the first time.
When Kadarius Toney gets to the locker room https://t.co/WxrAzR0cHi
First penalty of the game goes against #NYR, Panarin for high-sticking. Rangers thought it was their PP coming, with Quick heading to the bench for the presumed delay penalty. But replay clearly shows Panarin's stick hitting a Kings' player in the face, so they'll head to the PK
Rangers and Kings are underway in New York!
Big night for Jonathan Quick, who just led the Rangers onto the ice. It's his first time playing against his former team. Quick is a Kings' franchise icon. This has to be emotional for him.
