SACRAMENTO, California, USA (AP) — Domantas Sabonis finished with 27 points, 11 rebounds and nine assists, Malik Monk made two crucial free throws with 13 seconds left in overtime and the Sacramento Kings came from back on Wednesday to beat the Portland Trail Blazers 121-118.
Monk scored Sacramento’s last nine points in regulation, but in added time he did not see a basket until he was fouled by Toumani Camara. A calm Monk converted the two free throws that put the Kings three points up on the scoreboard.
At the opposing basket, Jerami Grant missed two three-pointers for Portland before the final buzzer.
Monk had 23 points and 10 assists to help the Kings break a three-game losing streak. Kevin Huerter contributed 17 points.
Grant set a new season high with 38 points and grabbed nine rebounds for the Blazers. Deandre Ayton added 18 points and 10 rebounds.
The Kings had led for most of the first half, but in the fourth they were down 111-102 before coming back thanks to Monk’s hot streak.
