Overview
- Zach LaVine posted season highs with 42 points and eight 3-pointers on 12-of-24 shooting to power Sacramento’s road win.
- The victory snapped the Kings’ four-game skid and marked their first double-digit margin of the season after leading by as many as 28.
- Miami was without Tyler Herro (toe), Davion Mitchell (groin) and Pelle Larsson (hip), with Herro undergoing an MRI and listed day-to-day.
- The Heat dropped a third straight and four of five to fall to 14-10, as Spoelstra said the group lacked “juice” and deployed a 10th starting lineup in 24 games.
- Per StatMuse, LaVine became one of two Kings to record at least 42 points, six rebounds and eight made threes; next up, Sacramento visits Indiana Monday and Miami plays an NBA Cup quarterfinal in Orlando Tuesday.
