The Sacramento Kings lost one of their best players but still found a way to earn a hard-fought win over the Houston Rockets.
Jonas Valančiūnas and Alperen Şengün shined as the Kings defeated the Rockets 113-103 on the road, while Domantas Sabonis exited early due to injury. Valančiūnas finished with 15 points, 14 rebounds, four steals, and three blocks on 7-of-10 shooting, becoming the first center to post that stat line since Scott Pollard in 2001.
