Brooklyn then went on a 14-2 run to cut the deficit to 99-93.I think for the most part (it) woke people up, Kilpatrick said. I was kind of out of it once that happened. My mindset changed completely. At the end of the day we should react like that a lot more, especially if we want to win in this league. Like I said before, just got to come out with some type of edge.However, Sacramento responded with a 16-0 run of its own to extend the lead to 115-93.I was scared for a second because I think they went on a 13-2 run and I was just like, `Man, did I just cost the team the game? Barnes said. So I was a little nervous, but we regained focus and went on a run of our own and closed the game out strong.Everything went Sacramentos way in the third quarter, including a lob attempt from Barnes that went in off the backboard for a 3-pointer with 4:03 remaining.

Im a big believer in the D-League. Ive seen it help so many guys, coach Kenny Atkinson said. I remember Jeremy (Lin) when we were with the Knicks and him going down to the D-League and kind of having a big game and coming back. There are many instances of that and it helps guys confidence.CENTERS SHOOTING 3S A TREND?Sure, because I think it opens up more space, Atkinson said. I think it just gives teams more room to operate and brings more variety to the offense. Youre not just defending one thing. Now youve got to defend DeMarcus Cousins post-ups, his isolations and now hes popping to the 3-point line, so its challenge. I think youll see more and more of it.
