Kings Top Cavaliers, 106-95
The Sacramento Kings defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers, 106-95, at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse on Friday night.

The Kings (14-10) came into the contest already riding a three-game winning streak, and they appeared well on their way to extending it while building a 31-20 lead through the first 12 minutes despite being without star point guard De'Aaron Fox (foot). However, the Cavaliers (16-10) turned the tables in the second quarter, sending the game into halftime knotted at 49-49. Cleveland then managed to forge a one-point edge going into the final period, but Sacramento's 27-15 advantage in the final 12 minutes sealed the rollercoaster road victory.

Harrison Barnes led the Kings with 20 points, adding three rebounds, one assist and one block. Kevin Huerter supplied 19 points, five boards, two assists and three steals. Domantas Sabonis generated an 18-point, 18-rebound double-double that included six assists, three steals and two blocks. Keegan Murray matched Sabonis' scoring while adding two rebounds, one steal and one block.

Caris LeVert led the Cavaliers with 22 points, complementing them with six rebounds and six assists. Darius Garland registered 19 points, six assists, two rebounds and two steals. Cedi Osman registered 17 points, four rebounds, one assist, three steals and one block. Evan Mobley finished with 16 points, seven boards, four assists and one steal.

The Kings remain on the road and visit the New York Knicks on Sunday evening, while the Cavaliers remain home and host the Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday night.
