Kings win against the Jazz 120-109
Big win for the Kings
In front of a loud and ruckus Sacramento crowd, the Kings drilled the Utah Jazz by the final score of 120-109 Saturday night. Chants of "Sac-ra-mento" and "Here We Stay" rained down from the rafters every time the Jazz went to the free-throw line as the Kings' fanbase made a strong statement as to why they deserve to remain an NBA city.
Isaiah Thomas led the way for the Kings (28-24) with 25 points, but right behind him was big man Jason Thompson who scored 21 points and grabbed seven rebounds in the win. All five starters finished in double-figures for the Kings, and Marcus Thornton tossed in 24 points off the bench as Sacramento exacted revenge for Monday's loss in Utah (18-33).
Alec Burks led the Jazz with a career-high 24 points on 7-for-15 shooting off the bench. Al Jefferson added 16 points, while Enes Kanter played well in his 24 minutes of action, finishing with 15 points and four rebounds.
