The Sacramento Kings (21 - 27) defeated the Milwaukee Bucks (20 - 30) 111 - 104 at Sleep Train Arena on Monday. Sacramento was without DeMarcus Cousins (ankle), but earned an unlikely scoring outburst from Rajon Rondo to send the Bucks to their 30th loss of the season. While 19 points might not seem like an outburst, it came from a point guard who has never been to known to shoot the ball, especially from behind the arc. Rondo finished 6 - of - 10 from the field and 4 - of - 4 from behind the arc, including one deep ball that put the game out of reach with just over two minutes remaining in regulation. He added seven assists and two rebounds to his hot hand. Rudy Gay truly deserves the outburst title in terms of scoring, and abused his matchup with Jabari Parker after he scored 32 points to lead all scorers, and added nine rebounds and six assists in one of his best performances of the season. The Kings were still dominant in the rebounding battle and pulled down 53 boards as a unit, as compared to the 37 rebounds from the opposition. Omri Casspi and Darren Collison combined for 27 points off the bench, while the beaten up Kings only went nine guys deep in the win. The Kings will host the Chicago Bulls (26 - 21) on Wednesday. The Bucks earned strong performances from their starters in terms of the box score, but physically they were overmatched, although the game had multiple lead changes and was within striking distance until the final three minutes of regulation. The aforementioned rebounding battle killed most of the second chance opportunities for Milwaukee, and the poor shooting off the bench did not help in the loss. Greg Monroe totaled a double - double with 24 points and 12 rebounds, while Giannis Antetokounmpo showed off a pretty eurostep throughout the game and scored 17 points, to go along with five rebounds in 35 minutes. Jabari Parker had one of his most efficient shooting efforts, adding 16 points on 8 - of - 12 shooting, but the percentages do not reflect Rudy Gay exploiting the sophomores defensive breakdowns. The Bucks also went nine men deep, but the four bench players combined for a lowly 15 points. The Bucks will visit the Portland Trail Blazers (23 - 26) on Tuesday.
