And with a nickname that great, a meme was born.

• Tim Duncan wins $100 with three pointer

Even the team's official account got in on the action.

• Custom UNC Air Jordan released before Sweet 16

As you might imagine, Stauskas was very confused when he saw his phone after the game with endless mentions of Sauce Castillo

The nickname is likely not going anywhere, as the team president is excited about the marketing opportunites.

Stauskas is fine with this, even telling the Kings' public address announced that he's cool with being announced as Sauce Castillo in a game.
