Sacramento Kings suffered a heavy loss with 96:132 (28:31, 25:27, 23:38, 20:36) at home against one of their direct competitors for the sixth position in the Western Conference Dallas Mavericks. Bulgarian basketball player Alexander Vezenkov did not play for the „Kings“ in this match either.
Before the match, the two teams had equal indicators of 42 wins and 29 losses, but now the advantage is on the side of the Mavericks.
Luka Doncic was largely responsible for Dallas’ victory. The Slovenian finished with a double-double of 28 points and 11 rebounds, and added six assists to them. No one from the Kings scored 20 points.
Dallas is sixth in the West in the NBA, Vezenkov’s team is eighth. The sixth position means direct qualification for the playoffs.
