DeMar DeRozan scored 32 points, Domantas Sabonis had 26 points and 18 rebounds and the Sacramento Kings overcame an 18-point deficit to beat the Golden State Warriors 123-117 on Wednesday night.
After a 3rd quarter comeback and back-and-fourth 4th quarter battle, the Kings stars carried Sacramento to a 123-117 victory.
