"The analysis shows that the sabertooth cats were a sister group to the
modern cats--that is, they diverged early on from the ancestors of
modern cats and are not closely related to any living felid species."
They don't really know this, and it's irrelevant anyways. We're not
concerned with their lineage. We're concerned with their behavior.
There are no good reasons to assume that their behavior and abilties is
similar to modern day lions.
