The San Antonio Spurs are seeking redemption after consecutive losses at home when they host the Sacramento Kings on Sunday afternoon. The Spurs, who fell to the Golden State Warriors 109-108 on Friday, are determined to get back on track against a Kings team reeling from a five-game losing streak. San Antonio's Victor Wembanyama led the charge with 26 points and 12 rebounds, but it wasn't enough to overcome a late collapse. De'Aaron Fox led the Kings with 24 points and 10 assists, while Domantas Sabonis added 34 points and 11 rebounds in the loss. Spurs coach Mitch Johnson acknowledged that his team needs to work on consistency, saying, "We just have to try to navigate minimize some of the peaks and valleys. If we can, if we can have a more consistent standard of 48 minutes." Johnson's team is currently 0-2 on their five-game homestand, which continues with Sunday's matchup against the Kings. The Kings, meanwhile, are searching for answers after a 124-110 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Coach Doug Christie emphasized the importance of finding the right lineup and energy to turn their season around. "We're searching and trying to make sure that we put a lineup out there that represents all those things that I talked about," he said. With Sacramento's minus-119 point differential during their five-game losing streak, Sunday's game is a must-win for the Kings. The contest marks the second time De'Aaron Fox will face his former team, the Spurs, in a matchup that's sure to be intense.
