DeMar DeRozan gets a heartfelt message from interim Kings head coach Doug Christie after the veteran's latest scoring milestone.

Winning at home has been a big point of emphasis since Christie took over as interim coach of the Kings when Mike Brown was fired in December. The Kings did it again in a Thursday night thriller, beating the Houston Rockets 132-127 before a sellout crowd of 18,227 at Golden 1 Center and a national television audience on TNT.

How have the Kings been doing so far this season? Grading new head coach Doug Christie and how the team has performed under him since taking over mid-season.

It might have taken a head coaching firing and being ridiculed across the NBA landscape, but the Sacramento Kings have finally found their form. In their past ten games, the Kings have picked up nine wins as interim head coach Doug Christie could certainly secure the job long-term given the team's play as of late.

DeMar DeRozan returned to the Windy City for the first time since getting traded to the Sacramento Kings in the offseason.

I like him more on our side, in our uniform,” Lonzo Ball said of DeRozan. “But he still looks pretty good in the black and purple.”

Kings star De'Aaron Fox is having another incredible season, averaging 25.9 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 6.3 assists per game. The 27-year-old point guard has been the heart of Sacramento's offense for much of the season and could be on his way to his second All-Star appearance.
