Sabonis, Monk Lead Kings to 121-118 Overtime Victory Against Trail Blazers
Sabonis' near triple-double and Monk's clutch free-throws help Kings break three-game losing streak, despite Grant's season-high 38 points for Trail Blazers.
- Domantas Sabonis led the Kings with 27 points, 11 rebounds, and nine assists during the game against the Trail Blazers. He was just shy of achieving a triple-double.
- Malik Monk played a key role in tipping the balance for the Kings towards the end, scoring Sacramento's final nine points in regulation and making two crucial free throws in overtime.
- Despite Portland's Jerami Grant having a season-high with 38 points and nine rebounds, the Trail Blazers couldn't clinch the win.
- The game took a massive shift when the Kings rallied from a 111-102 deficit in the fourth quarter, largely due to Monk's free throws after a contested charge was reviewed and overturned.
- On the Blazers' side, key players Malcolm Brogdon and Skylar Mays couldn't make a significant impact, with Brogdon exiting the game in the first quarter due to a hamstring strain and Mays missing a buzzer-beating 3-pointer that would have avoided overtime.
