The Sacramento Kings defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers in overtime, 116 - 112, at Quicken Loans Arena on Wednesday. The Cavs (30 - 14) came in to Wednesday's contest looking to right some of the ills that had plagued them over their previous seven games, a stretch in which they'd suffered five defeats. The Kings (18 - 27) may have initially looked like easy prey, considering their losing record and the fact that they'd recently lost their second - best playmaker, Rudy Gay, for the season with an Achilles injury. However, the old adage of "that's why they play the games" rang particularly true Wednesday, as Sacramento forced the Cavs into an uncharacteristic 18 turnovers and made the shots when it counted most to emerge as surprising victors. DeMarcus Cousins naturally played a pivotal role, posting a near triple - double with a game - high 28 points, 11 rebounds, nine assists, three steals and a block. He made a driving layup with three seconds remaining in regulation to send the game into overtime, and then made another in the extra period to help the Kings come back from a 111 - 106 deficit with 2:30 remaining. Darren Collison followed Cousins with 23 points, five assists, three rebounds, two steals and a block. Arron Afflalo posted 14 points, three assists and two rebounds. Garrett Temple supplied 12 points, four rebounds, two assists and four steals. Malachi Richardson led the second unit with 12 points, three rebounds, an assist and a steal. Willie Cauley-Stein was productive in a reserve role as well, tallying eight points, 10 boards, a steal and a block. LeBron James did his part for Cleveland, supplying a 24 - point, 13 - rebound, 11 - assist triple - double that also included two steals and a block. Kevin Love was next with a 21 - point, 16 - rebound double - double that also included five assists and a steal. Kyrie Irving rounded out the Big Three's night with 20 points, six assists, a rebound, two steals and two blocks. Iman Shumpert provided a nice complementary contribution of 16 points, three rebounds, two assists and two steals. Kyle Korver paced the second unit with 12 points, three assists, a rebound and a block. The Kings head to Indiana to tangle with the Pacers on Friday night, while the Cavs are home against the Brooklyn Nets on Friday evening as well.
