Sacramento Kings pull off EPIC comeback, down 35 points



If you were a Sacramento Kings fan, you were probably already changing the channel away from their game against the Chicago Bulls as the Bulls built a 35 point lead with about 8:50 remaining in the game.

Then something strange happened, the Kings came back and won by the score of 102-98.

No joke, the Kings pulled off the second greatest comeback in NBA history as rookie guard Tyreke Evans stole the show with 23 points and eight rebounds. (For those who care, the greatest comeback was in 1997 when the Utah Jazz came back against the Denver Nuggets by a deficit of 36 points.) I guess that "Paul Westphal" magic hasn't worn off yet.

For Bulls fans, you might have some solace that Vinny Del Negro might be out the door soon and that it was only one regular season game.

For Kings fans, I think that Tyreke Evans pick was good, huh? Sometimes the NBA lottery works in mysterious ways.

UPDATE- Since the internet was in it's infancy in 1997, this is the largest NBA comeback that has game threads from NBA blogs.
