Sacramento Kings coach George Karl perhaps said it best late Wednesday night when he assessed his team’s 116-105 loss at the hands of the visiting Clippers at Sleep Train Arena in Sacramento.

In talking about the disparity in points made from 3-point range, Karl said, “There’s no question, when you lose by 42 points at the 3-point line, well, it’s tough to make those up.”

Indeed, the Clippers made 17 of 37 from the 3-point line (45.9 percent). That’s 51 points from beyond the arc. The Kings made just 3 of 17 (17.6 percent) from 3-point range for nine points.
