The Sacramento Kings (2 - 7) defeated the Detroit Pistons (5 - 3) Wednesday 101 - 92 at Sleep Train Arena in Sacramento. Sacramento had a firm hold on the game through the first three quarters, but a late fourth - quarter push by Detroit brought them within five. However, that is as close as they would get, as the Kings countered with a 70 run of their own and ultimately put the game out of reach. DeMarcus Cousins dominated in the first half for the Kings, scoring 23 points, and the big man from Kentucky ended up with a game - high 33 points and nine rebounds in 38 minutes. He continues to show his improved ability to stretch the floor, as Cousins shot 3 - for - 5 from behind the arc. Rajon Rondo stuffed the stat sheet, recording his second triple - double of the season of 14 points, 11 rebounds and 15 assists in 47 minutes. Rudy Gay shot efficiently, going 10 - of - 14 from the field and finishing with 25 points in 37 minutes. For the Pistons, Andre Drummond recorded his eighth straight double - double to start the season, finishing with 14 points and 16 rebounds in 35 minutes. Three other Detroit starters in Marcus Morris (16), Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (15) and Reggie Jackson (16) managed to score in double figures, but the team’s bench only recorded 23 total points. Up next, the Kings will stay home Friday to take on the Nets, while the Pistons will head to Los Angeles Saturday to go up against the Clippers.
