The NBA’s tanking discourse hit a new peak earlier this week thanks to Kings coach Doug Christie.
Sacramento was fighting valiantly against the Warriors on Tuesday night and held a one-point lead with just over three minutes remaining. At that point Christie directed his team to intentionally foul Seth Curry (playing with his brother Steph for the first time since high school), even though they’d gift Golden State two free throws because the Kings were in the penalty. Sacramento would go on to lose its 59th game of the season, 110–105.
