The week started with a vintage Kings flop on their home court. Riding a two game win streak, Sacramento hosted a young, but athletic Houston Rockets team and for the third time this season, fell flat against Ime Udoka’s squad.
Fred VanVleet led the Rockets with 22 points and nine assists, but it was a balanced attack for Houston. Jalen Green dropped in 19 points and Alperen Sengun added a double-double before going down with a scary injury late in the contest.
Domantas Sabonis led the Kings with 25 points, 15 rebounds and eight assists, but his nine turnovers proved costly. Malik Monk came off the bench to score 20 points and De’Aaron Fox chipped in 18 points and nine assists in the 112-104 loss.
