Monk had 10 of his 32 points in the last five minutes, including seven triples, while Devin Carter tallied 16 points and five boards, and made a pair of clutch free throws with 6.6 seconds left.

The Kings led 108-105 when Monk heated up, and made a pair of three-pointers and sank two free throws in the final minutes.
Monk’s two free throws gave the Kings a 123-120 lead before he fouled Traore on the next possession.
