During their game versus the Pistons, the Sacramento Kings attempted to make fun of the Detroit Lions, but Detroit came out on top.
The Sacramento Kings are located more than a hundred miles away from the San Francisco 49ers, but on Wednesday night, when they were playing the Detroit Pistons, they felt compelled to show off their inner Niners by making fun of the Detroit Lions.
The video team at the Golden 1 Center chose to show the notorious Kindle Vildor play from the NFC Championship Game over and over on the jumbotron while the Pistons lineup was being announced during pregame. For a stinging reminder, on a play in the third quarter, Vildor was in an excellent position to intercept Brock Purdy, but the ball squirmed off his facemask and into the arms of Brandon Aiyuk, who went on to gain 51 yards and help the 49ers pull off a 17-point comeback.
The Kings played back that clip during the Pistons players’ introductions. Here it is:

Detroit, though, would get the final laugh. In spite of being 13.5-point favorites against the pitiful 7-43 Pistons, the 29-21 Kings—who are presently ranked eighth in the Western Conference—were easily defeated by Detroit, 133-120.
Even better, the Kings led entering the fourth quarter but lost the game. So perhaps before you judge others, try learning how to hold your own. But, hey, we understand for a franchise that has just once qualified for the postseason since 2006–07 and only had one 1950s championship to call their own. We’ve been there previously. I hope you guys don’t blow any more two-game leads in the postseason’s first round this year!
