The Sacramento Kings<\/a> rallied from an 8-point halftime deficit to beat the Detroit Pistons,<\/a> 122-113, on Friday night. It was a team-wide effort that wrapped up the Kings\u2019 six-game road trip.<\/p>\n Trailing 63-55 at the half, it seemed Sacramento didn\u2019t have the juice to push a cellar-dwelling Pistons team on the final game of a lengthy trip. But then the third quarter happened. Sacramento started the quarter on a 28-8 run, and ultimately, that was the difference in Friday\u2019s game.<\/p>\n All five Kings\u2019 starters scored in double digits, having efficient nights and contributing to their win.<\/p>\n Domantas Sabonis continued to play like an All-Star, finishing with an efficient 23 points and 13 rebounds to go along with 7 assists. There wasn\u2019t a Pistons\u2019 big man that could match Sabonis\u2019 post game, passing and overall basketball intelligence.<\/p>\n De\u2019Aaron Fox had his second consecutive productive game, finishing with 24 points and 9 assists. After missing struggling for a multi-week stretch and missing two games<\/a> with injury, Fox is starting to get his juice back, which is a positive development for Sacramento.<\/p>\n Keegan Murray got the better of the top-five pick duel with Jaden Ivey, finishing with 20 points, making four 3-pointerd on Friday, and helping jumpstart the Kings\u2019 third-quarter rally. Ivey finished with just 5 points on 2-9 shooting, and fouled out of the game with a few minutes to go in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n After a few stinker performances against the New York Knicks<\/a> and Philadelphia 76ers<\/a>, the Kings were able to grind out two consecutive victories, first over the Toronto Raptors<\/a> and then on Friday against Detroit, to make it a .500 trip. In totality, that has to be considered a success, especially when you look at the teams Sacramento had to play against.<\/p>\n For the first time in what feels like forever, the Sacramento Kings will be back in front of the Golden 1 Center crowd on Monday against the Charlotte Hornets<\/a>. The team will look to improve their 8-4 record at home then.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
