The Sacramento Kings won on the road against the Houston Rockets 121-118 on Wednesday night. It was a battle at the bottom as both teams are in a race for last place, only separated by two seeds in the lower end of the Western Conference. The Kings continue to miss their key tandem in Domantas Sabonis and De’Aaron Fox, giving an extended audition to the cast of role players around typically around them to eat minutes.
It didn’t take long for the young Rockets to garner a double-digit lead, hitting the gas on an 8-0 run late in the first quarter.
