Zach LaVine erupted for 43 points as the Sacramento Kings rallied from 18 down to defeat the Detroit Pistons 127-117 on Monday night, strengthening their bid for a Western Conference play-in spot.
LaVine, fresh off a 37-point performance against Cleveland, was electric once again, draining eight threes to spearhead Sacramento’s charge.
He was well supported by DeMar DeRozan with 37 points and Domantas Sabonis, who recorded a dominant triple-double of 19 points, 15 rebounds, and 10 assists.
The win, Sacramento’s second straight on the road, lifts them to 39-40, holding on to 9th place just ahead of Dallas.
With only four games left, the Kings are in prime position to secure a play-in berth, with the Suns trailing by three games in 11th.
Elsewhere, the Miami Heat cruised past the 76ers 117-105, building momentum ahead of next week’s Eastern Conference play-ins.
