It's be difficult to find a more significant indicator of the NBA's changing times than the past two whippings the Kings handed out to the Utah Jazz during a three-day span last week.

Sacramento (33-10) dominated the once-dominant Jazz (22-22) in back-to-back games and alternately made Utah look like a team too old as well as too young to compete with the NBA's elite teams.

The Kings won those two games by a combined total of 57 points and rendered the Jazz questioning its own capabilities as well as complimenting Sacramento's efforts.
