In a stellar performance, Domantas Sabonis contributed 23 points, 10 assists, and nine rebounds, while Keegan Murray recorded a season-high 25 points with five 3-pointers.
Despite Donovan Mitchell’s 22 points leading the Cavs, Sacramento’s well-rounded effort saw four players scoring in the 20s.
The Kings had six players in double figures, emphasizing their offensive depth. EuroLeaue MVP Sasha Vezenkov scored 11 points in 17 minutes of play coming off the bench for Sacramento.
Despite Cleveland narrowing the gap late in the fourth quarter, Fox’s three-point play with 1:26 remaining sealed the victory for the Kings.
