Jazz beat Kings in the overtime
Big game for Foye
It took the injury-riddled Utah Jazz until overtime to get things figured out, but they managed to avoid what would have been a disastrous home defeat. The Jazz, working out their rotations and personnel while dealing with numerous guard injuries, finished off the Sacramento Kings 98-91 in overtime on Monday night. Randy Foye had 20 points and six assists, while Al Jefferson had 15 points, 12 rebounds and five assists for the Jazz (27-22), who overcame a seven-point fourth quarter deficit.
Sacramento (17-33), one of the league's worst road teams, was without DeMarcus Cousins in the second half. He picked up his second technical foul at halftime and was ejected. Jason Thompson picked up the slack with Cousins out, recording a season-high 23 points and 10 rebounds. Tyreke Evans had 20 points for the Kings.
