Kings couldn't hold a crown to the Warriors in the Seattle one night only event

Justin Jackson reassures Divac that he is okay

Here are three takeaways from the Kings’ 122-94 preseason loss to the Golden State Warriors on Friday night at Keyarena:

Sleepless in Seattle The Kings got off to an awful start, missing seven of their first eight shots. Some of their shots rimmed out. Some didn’t hit the rim at all.

Fatigue may have been a factor on the second night of a back-to-back. The Kings turned in a pretty impressive performance in a losing effort against the Los Angeles Lakers 24 hours, but they didn’t arrive at the team hotel in Seattle until about 3:30 a.m.

Whatever the reason, the Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant, left, looks to pass the ball as Sacramento Kings forward Justin Jackson defends during the first half of an NBA basketball preseason game on Friday in Seattle.

Kings didn’t attack the Warriors with the same speed, aggression and efficiency. They shot 27.3 percent in the first quarter and

Justin Jackson was making his way through the hallway outside the locker room before the game, Kings general manager Vlade Divac asked him if he was all right. “Yeah, I’m good,” Jackson said. Divac repeated the question and motioned for Jackson to come closer, appearing to offer some encouraging words after Jackson went scoreless on 0-of-9 shooting over 38 minutes in the team’s first two preseason games.

Jackson looked shaken after missing twice early in the first quarter, but he seemed to gain confidence after burying two 3-pointers late in the first half.

Jackson finished with eight points on 3-of-7 shooting. It wasn’t the kind of production the Kings are hoping to see from him, but it was better than nothing.

Giles continues to shine Rookie Harry Giles III continues to impress, looking like one of the team’s most productive and consistent players.

Giles is averaging 15 points and six rebounds in three preseason games. He had a teamhigh 17 points and five rebounds against the Warriors. Giles, who has scored in double figures in all three games, made 5 of 12 from the field and 1 of 2 from 3-point range.

Willie Cauley-stein and Frank Mason III were the only other players in double figures against the Warriors, scoring 10 points apiece.
