The Sacramento Kings' Twitter account had a little fun at in-state rival Los Angeles Lakers on Friday, sharing Robert Horry's Western Conference Finals game-winning shot with a twist.

The Kings' sliced in then-second-year swingman Bogdan Bogdanovic's game-winner for Sacramento over the Lakers from December 2018 right after Horry pulls up in his famous (or infamous for Sacramentp fans) Game 4 shot.
The Kings and Lakers matchup from nearly a decade ago still haunts Sactown.
Losing in seven games, the Kings felt that the series was cheated from them, with officials calling favorable fouls for the Lakers to extend the series. The Lakers then went to the third consecutive NBA Finals, defeating the New Jersey Nets in a sweep.
While the Kings haven't had much to brag about nowadays — they haven't reached the postseason since the 2005-06 season — their social media presence can still have a little fun at the expense of the overachieving Lakers, who are 9-2 so far and host Sacramento at the Staples Center on Friday night.
As for Bogdanovic, rumors were swirling a couple of weeks back about how the young Serbian wing may want out and how he is not happy with his role on the team. However, the 27-year-old former first-round has thrived since the rumors emerged. He's averaging 13.3 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 4.0 assists in 25.6 minutes per game, appearing in 10 games off the bench and shooting nearly 40 percent from deep.
The Kings are hoping reliving Bogdanovic's shot from last year could rev him up and upset the Lakers tonight.
