The Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Sacramento Kings, 122 - 119, at Wells Fargo Center on Monday evening. The Kings (19 - 29) got off to a fast start, jumping on the Sixers (18 - 29) early and building a 35 - 21 lead after one quarter. Even without superstar Joel Embiid, the Sixers battled back, closing the gap to 55 - 48 by halftime. They gained the separation they needed in the third quarter, scoring an impressive 42 points during the period. A balanced offensive effort was key to overcoming another monster effort from the Kings' DeMarcus Cousins, as seven Philadelphia players managed double - digit scoring, and the Sixers tallied a 54 percent success rate overall from the field. Meanwhile, they also elicited 20 turnovers from Sacramento, which proved pivotal in their comeback. Cousins posted an eye - popping 46 - point, 15 - rebound double - double that also included five assists, one steal and one block. However, the big man also committed eight of the aforementioned 20 turnovers. The only other two double - digit scoring efforts came from the bench, as Willie Cauley-Stein went for 17 points, three rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block to lead the second unit, and Matt Barnes, whose three - point jumper brought Sacramento within 120 - 119 with five seconds remaining, tallied 16 points, three rebounds, two assists and one steal. Darren Collison and Arron Afflalo put forth a pair of eight - point efforts, with the former adding two assists and one steal, and the latter providing four rebounds and three assists. Garrett Temple (seven points, five assists, one rebound, two steals) and Kosta Koufos (six points) rounded out the starting five. The Sixers were led by Robert Covington's 23 points, which he supplemented with 10 rebounds, two assists and four steals.
