Sacramento Kings’ Top 5 longest winning streaks in NBA history as they ‘Light the Beam’ after 7th straight victory

The Sacramento Kings beat Memphis 113-109 on Tuesday night to secure their seventh straight win and move up to the third spot in the Western Conference.

The Kings were led by star guard De’Aaron Fox, who scored 32 points to go along with eight rebounds, six assists, and four steals.

Sacramento’s recent success has come on the back of their second-ranked team offensive rating of 117.7, behind only the Boston Celtics (118.2). This kind of success is almost unheard of for the Kings franchise that last made the playoffs in 2006.

So on that note, here is how Sacramento's recent seven-game winning streak stacks up with their past winning streaks.
