The Kings’ dream season ended with a Game 7 loss to Stephen Curry and the Warriors, who outscored Sacramento 64-42 in the second half while Curry finished with 50 points, a short-lived record for most points ever in a Game 7 (Boston’s Jason Tatum broke the record two weeks later with 51 against the Philadelphia 76ers).

It came as a shock to most when the Sacramento Kings fired head coach Mike Brown in the midst of a disappointing season after a few years of productive basketball. As Kings fans have been divided if the firing was a good decision or not, some are pondering why it was made in the first place.

Less than two years after he was named the NBA's Coach of the Year, the Sacramento Kings are reportedly showing coach Mike Brown the door. The Kings are parting ways with Brown with immediate affect, according to a Friday afternoon report from Shams Charania of ESPN.
