Sacramento's Zach LaVine scored 30 points in his return to
Chicago. He played for the Bulls from 2018 until he was traded
to the Kings before the All-Star break last season. The Bulls
played a video tribute to him during the first quarter.
DeMar DeRozan, another former Bull, scored 19 points for
Sacramento. Domantas Sabonis added 18 points, 11 rebounds and
six assists for the Kings, who lost their third straight. The
Kings shot 53.1% from the field but made just 7 of 28
3-pointers.
Sacramento visited defending champion Oklahoma City on Tuesday
night and left with a hard-fought 107-101 loss. The Kings had
enough energy to lead 64-62 at halftime, but the Bulls outscored
the Kings 64-49 after the break.
The Bulls used a 39-27 third quarter to take a 101-91 lead. They
shot 65.4% from the field in the period and had 14 assists.
Giddey had five assists in the quarter.
The Bulls extended their lead to 17 points in the fourth.
