They also managed to keep turnovers relatively low at 13.

Their most recent away game against Los Angeles Lakers resulted in another win for Sacramento, finishing at 130-120. The team's offensive efficiency was evident as they led for over half of the game time and shot an impressive effective field goal percentage of 62 percent while also dominating in fast-break situations with 26 points.


As we look ahead to their matchup against Orlando Magic, it's clear that maintaining these levels of efficiency will be key for Sacramento. While playing away from home can present challenges, if they continue leveraging their strengths—particularly in scoring efficiently inside and capitalizing on fast breaks—the Kings could very well extend their winning trend.
