The Kings appeared to be headed for a blowout loss on their home court, but that’s when DeRozan went to work. He scored 19 points in the third quarter, including 15 in the final 5:35, bringing his team back from a big deficit while bringing the arena to life.
DeRozan scored 17 points in the third quarter as the Kings outscored the Warriors 37-20 to tie the game. Sacramento shot 57.7% from the field while holding Golden State to 40%. The Kings forced eight turnovers in the third, resulting in a 13-0 advantage in points off turnovers.
Just as the Golden State Warriors were ready to hand revenge on a giant platter to the Kings on Wednesday night, DeMar DeRozan knocked it out of their hands and ignited Sacramento’s 123-117 comeback win at Golden 1 Center.
But the team has been "fun-bad," thanks to solid play from two-time All-Star small forward/shooting guard LaVine, two-time All-Star center Nikola Vucevic, and guards Coby White, Ayo Dosunmu and Giddey. In the mediocre East, the Bulls are good enough to have at least a shot at the postseason.
The Kings trapped the ball out of Steph Curry’s hands all night — often at halfcourt — and he responded by dishing a season-high 12 assists. Andrew Wiggins poured in 25 and Gui Santos (16 points) provided a major lift off the bench. But DeMar DeRozan (32 points, 24 in the second half) was too much for the short-handed Warriors to overcome.
