Sacramento Kings vs Detroit Pistons Game Summary

The Sacramento Kings rounded off their last road trip with a showdown against the Detroit Pistons on Monday. Sacramento hoped to extend their winning streak to three and go home with a 3-3 record after the East Coast swing.

The Pistons sustained its attack in the second quarter while its defense held the Kings to 24 points. Detroit went 3-for-13 from deep but connected on 7-for-12 shots from inside the paint. The balanced scoring from the home team allowed it to take a 72-62 halftime lead.

The Kings flipped the script in the third quarter with a devastating interior onslaught and tight defense. Detroit made 12 of 15 shots inside the shaded lane and put the lid on the Kings' offense. The visitors turned a 72-62 deficit into a 97-94 lead entering the fourth quarter.

The Kings and the Pistons opened the fourth quarter with an offensive barrage. Cade Cunningham and Ausar Thompson combined to go toe-to-toe with Zach LaVine's sizzling start. The game turned into a defensive struggle after the exchange of haymakers fizzled.
