Chase Budinger couldn't capitalize on Andrei Kirilenko's absence on Saturday -- he started at SF and played 37 minutes, but scored only six points of 2-of-11 shooting. Budinger shot over 40 percent from downtown last season but he made just 1-of-5 tonight, one reason this line is anomolous. Rick Adelman is happy with Budinger's play this preseason, and he should have a healthy role in support of Kirilenko.
