DeRozan Breaks Franchise Record
DeRozan, who has become an integral force for the Kings, thrilled fans by scoring 27 points – this marked his eighth straight game scoring at least 20 points and broke Chris Webber’s franchise record set back in 1999! DeRozan continues his remarkable NBA journey after spending time on Chicago Bulls, San Antonio Spurs, and Raptors teams throughout his 16th season – showing fans why so many praise his talent so highly!
Kings’ Supporting Players Shine Bright
The Kings also saw standout performances from other team members. Domantas Sabonis achieved a remarkable triple-double with 17 points, 13 assists, and 11 rebounds, with perfect shooting accuracy. Meanwhile, Keegan Murray contributed 22 points and 12 rebounds, and De’Aaron Fox added another 21 points to the total, bolstering the Kings’ win.
Raptors Face Challenges
The Raptors, despite RJ Barrett’s leading 23 points and Davion Mitchell’s 20-point game against his former team, struggled to maintain their lead. The turning point came in the fourth quarter when the Kings overpowered them with a 33-14 scoreline.
Game’s Turning Point
The momentum shifted early in the fourth quarter when the Kings, behind by six points, embarked on a 9-0 run. DeRozan’s jumper initiated the comeback, and Malik Monk finalized it with seven consecutive points, securing the lead for the Kings.
Historic Performance by Sabonis
Sabonis’ triple-double was truly extraordinary – only eight players since 1982-83 NBA season have managed such feat without missing any field goals or free throws!
Looking Ahead
The Raptors look to stay competitive during their five-game road trip by meeting Los Angeles Clippers this Saturday night; Sacramento will then play host to them the day prior.
