Title Defence Begins: Kings Show No Signs of Slackening The Sydney Kings' opening round win over Cairns was a resounding reminder that last season's NBL champions are not to be underestimated.
While some might view their 111 90 victory as a routine dispatching of an inferior opponent, it's essential to consider the broader context and what this performance says about the team's chances for another title run.
The Kings' balanced scoring effort stood out, with seven players reaching double digits in points scored. Kendric Davis led the charge at 26, demonstrating the kind of depth that is a hallmark of successful teams.
