MINNEAPOLIS -- It's almost as difficult to diagnose the psyche of an NBA team as it would be to dive off the roof of Arco Arena into a small glass of water.

Or that psychoanalytical thing might even be tougher.

So there is no absolute in predicting how the Kings (17-6) will respond to that pterodactyl-sized egg they laid Wednesday in a 114-88 loss to Phoenix. But they get a chance to find out tonight against Minnesota.
