The Golden 1 Center became loud in front of the Sacramento Kings Thursday night.
Loud boos replacing cheers, that is.
Once considered the loudest arena in the league during the early 2000s and during the last playoff run of 2022-23, fans finally put their foot down on the state of the franchise during the 131-94 defeat against the Orlando Magic.
Fans trekked to the exits at the 4:52 mark realizing they had enough, with Kevin John of ABC 10 capturing that scene.
John then overheard the boos loudly once the clock struck 0:00 in the fourth quarter.
Orlando's franchise record 27 made three-pointers weren't even the story inside the Kings' arena. It was the other record...Sacramento losing a franchise worst 15 consecutive games.
Sacramento hasn't won since Jan. 16 -- also the last time the famed beam lit up above the arena. The reactions became relentless online -- including from local media members.
Frankie Cartoscelli of Sactown 1140 AM is now bracing for the worst possible scenario involving the Kings. And it has nothing to do with potentially landing the top overall pick in the June NBA Draft Lottery.
"At 12-45, the Sacramento Kings are on pace to finish 17-65, which would tie the 2008-09 team for the worst record in the Sacramento era," Cartoscelli posted on the social media website X, formerly known as Twitter.
Matt George of Sactown 1140 AM mentioned another startling statistic that is now attached to this year's Kings team.
Sacramento continues to play into landing the potential top pick of the upcoming draft. Which will signal either BYU's AJ Dybantsa, Kansas freshman Darryn Peterson and Duke's Cam Boozer are on their way.
Yet again, theories of tanking would manifest amid the the NBA's new crackdown of player participation violation -- which now ties into alleged tanking that commissioner Adam Silver and the office could spot.
Not a single Kings player scored past 18 points. Rookie Maxime Raynaud led the way with 17 on the night...in what could be a preview of things to come: Sacramento turning to a youth movement to close out the season.
Keegan Murray dropped 15 points in his Kings return from an ankle ailment. Precious Achiuwa and Malik Monk scored 14 points apiece while DeMar DeRozan added 13.
But again, six different Kings players reaching double figures in scoring wasn't the story of the evening. It's the long losing skid shattering franchise history -- and a once loud arena now cluttered with fans who have seen enough.
