With the vibes riding high after a huge road win over the Minnesota Timberwolves, the Kings returned home to face a struggling Chicago Bulls team. Like so many other games this season, the Kings laid an egg and killed any momentum that was building.
Coby White got rolling for the Bulls, scoring a career-high 37 points on 14-of-19 shooting. He kept Chicago close and then veteran DeMar DeRozan took over.
The six-time All-Star knocked down 7-of-7 from the field in the fourth quarter to finish with 33 points and push his Bulls squad to a 113-109 win.
De’Aaron Fox returned from injury to post 20 points and 10 assists. Domantas Sabonis added an 18-point, 21-rebound performance, but no other Kings player scored more than 12 in the loss.
