From tip-off to final buzzer, the Kings dominated play with an impressive display of teamwork and shooting accuracy. The home team's offense was firing on all cylinders as they racked up an effective field goal percentage of 66 percent and converted half of their attempts from beyond the arc into points. Their sharpshooting was complemented by a solid free throw performance, hitting 74 percent from the line.


The Kings' bench contributed significantly to their victory with a substantial 32 points. This depth proved too much for the Jazz as they struggled to keep pace, despite putting up a respectable effort from their reserves who added 20 points to their total.

Defensively, Sacramento also outperformed Utah with six blocks and eight steals that helped them maintain control throughout. They capitalized on turnovers scoring 17 points off them and were relentless in securing rebounds with a total count of 56 compared to Utah's 44.


Utah did not go down without a fight; they showed resilience by leading briefly during the game and managed an efficient night from three-point range themselves at nearly forty percent. However, it wasn't enough to counteract Sacramento's offensive onslaught or overcome their largest deficit which stretched to twenty-five points.
