Jaden Ivey’s career performance led the Detroit Pistons (7-43) to a surprising 133-120 victory over the Sacramento Kings (29-21) on Wednesday night.
Ivey exploded for a career-high 37 points, including 19 in the fourth quarter, stepping up in the absence of key teammates Cade Cunningham and Bojan Bogdanovic.
Alec Burks contributed 25 points off the bench, while Jalen Duren posted a double-double with 20 points and 15 rebounds, bolstering the Pistons’ offense.
Despite Domantas Sabonis’ 30-point double-double for the Kings and Malik Monk’s 23-point effort, Sacramento struggled to contain Detroit’s offensive onslaught.
