Cauley-Stein leads team effort against 76ers’ Embiid as Kings climb in playoff race

Kings center Willie Cauley-Stein walked out of Golden 1 Center late Saturday night wearing aviator sunglasses and a brown bomber jacket, but only after Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid got a good look at his jumpsuit.

Cauley-Stein rose up to dunk in Embiid’s face and Buddy Hield poured in a game-high 34 points to help the Kings climb higher in the conference standings with an impressive 115-108 victory over the 76ers, their sixth in a row at home. Sacramento moved ahead of the Los Angeles Lakers for ninth place in the Western Conference.

“Every win is a big win, especially for that (reason),” Cauley-Stein said.
