Cleveland Cavaliers at Sacramento Kings
· National Basketball Association
The Kings hand the Cavaliers their 3rd straight loss with a 123-119 win
DeRozan made back-to-back baskets down the stretch to give the Kings a 119-116 lead and they closed it out from there for their second consecutive win following a four-game losing streak.
Malik Monk added 20 points as the Kings won without stars Domantas Sabonis and Zach LaVine.
Evan Mobley scored 22 of his 31 points in the final 15 minutes for Cleveland but it wasn't enough to help the Cavs get back on the winning track. Cleveland has matched its longest skid of the season following a 16-game winning streak.
Donovan Mitchell added 26 points for Cleveland.
Kings: Sacramento fell behind by 13 early with Sabonis (ankle) and LaVine (personal) sidelined as they missed 17 of their first 19 shots. But they rallied thanks in part to a season-high 16 points from rookie Devin Carter.
