Will they stay, or will they go? The fans, and some in the media, share their thoughts on the possibility that Wednesday's game could have been the final one in Sacramento, as the team may be heading to Seattle.
Meanwhile, it's game time at the former Arco Arena. Last #NBAKings home game of season. Last one for good? Unclear. #ff @BobMoffitt at Arco.Ben Adler

Two years ago, the last "final" #nbakings game was like a wake. Many tears. Now? Packard house. Festive like old days. Confidence aboundsMarcos Breton
The ownership group with $ is there. So is political support, regional support. What does 28 years of love for #nbakings mean? #herewestayMarcos Breton

Yes, there was a game, and a close one, at that. Kings rallied in the second half to make it close, but came up short.
HALF: #CLippers lead Sacramento 54-46. CP3 with 14. Cousins with 12. #NBAKingsSean Cunningham
Mayor at half time says he's very confident about keeping #NBAKingsDale Kasler
NOTE: When watching #nbakings games on league pass, at half time the screen usually goes to NBA Scores. Tonight they r showing Kings.....Sonicsman
