The Sacramento Kings overcame a 22-point second half deficit to beat the Atlanta Hawks 108-107 in Sacramento Friday night on a Darren Collison layup with 3.5 seconds left. The Kings, who trailed the entire game until under two minutes left in the fourth quarter, looked downright awful at times. But a great shooting performance by guard Ben McLemore in the second half propelled the team to victory. Let’s go to some tweets from during the first three quarters…
The Kings fans got in on the action early…
Aaaaaaaaaand some boos coming from #Kings fans now

Here are some prescient foreshadowing tweets from a Sacramento radio producer and a Hawks writer…
Don't worry, they will wake up and decide to play at some point in the 4th quarter. #ConsistentlyUnconsistent

It’s like a slow motion train wreck. Each choice and result more predictable than the last.

Dave Joerger T'd up now. If I were him I might get tossed. This is a hard game to watch

Kings are coming unglued

Kings have no pace, no flow to the offense. This is hard to watch.

I get the loss to ATL, that's expected. They're middle of the road. What will really be surprising is if they beat NOLA, they suck

We need San Antonio or the Warriors or someone actually good to come in here so we can actually win a game for a change

Let’s move on to after the Kings came back and won…
Kings win. What a comeback. Man

I. Dont. Understand. KANGZ.

In the end, it was classic #Kangz

This guy was totally caught off guard…
I fell asleep midway through the third quarter with the Kings down big to ATL, wake up to find out they won. That is becoming a trend.
