The Sacramento Kings won their season debut over the Utah Jazz Wednesday night, but the team’s victory and their performance were not what the Kings’ coach wanted to address after the game.
Instead, he turned his attention to the mass shooting in Lewiston, Maine.
“I don’t even want to talk about basketball,” a visibly emotional head coach Mike Brown told reporters at a post-game press conference. “We played a game, it was fun. Obviously, we won but if we can’t do anything to fix this, it’s over. It’s over for our country for this to happen time after time.”
