Sacramento Kings
Team of Note
1990-1991 Sacramento Kings
Record: 25-57Overall ranking: 1008th, 6.289 points below average
Two patterns emerged during the first 15 years of the Kings’ existence in Sacramento after the franchise moved from Kansas City after the 1984-1985 season.
The Kings generally played lousy basketball, but they got unwavering support from their fans.
Both trends showed up to an extreme during the 1990-1991 season.
Sacramento posted a respectable 24-17 record in front of its home fans. The Kings finished the season with a 25-57 overall record, though, because of a 1-40 record in away games.
Sacramento’s 1-40 road ledger established a new low for fewest road wins in a season under the NBA’s modern 82-game schedule. The Kings lost their last 37 road games of the 1990-1991 season and six more to start the 1991-1992 campaign, establishing another league record with 43 straight road defeats.
