DeMar DeRozan scored 27 points and the short-handed Sacramento Kings handed the Cleveland Cavaliers their third straight loss with a 123-119 victory on Wednesday night.
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.
