The Kings appeared to be headed for a blowout loss on their home court in a game that was nationally televised by ESPN, but that’s when DeRozan went to work. He scored 17 points in the third quarter, bringing his team back from a big deficit while bringing the arena to life.

After a 3rd quarter comeback and back-and-fourth 4th quarter battle, the Kings stars carried Sacramento to a 123-117 victory.

In the early stages of a “make-or-break” stretch of games before the Feb. 6 trade deadline, what looked like a promising night for Golden State (21-22) ended with “Light The Beam” chants and a 123-117 loss. The Warriors committed 19 turnovers, negating a hot shooting night.
