The Sacramento Kings are now 2-0 in head-to-head confrontations with the Toronto Raptors this season, beating the Canadian side 135-130 at home with the usual contribution of Domantas Sabonis.

Having become a triple-double machine with the purple-and-black franchise, the Lithuanian big man had the second consecutive huge performance after dominating against Orlando in the same way. This time, he provided 24 points (11/16 FG), 15 rebounds, and 11 assists over Pascal Siakam.

He was praised in the post-game. “It seems like it’s a common theme after every game, he’s getting a triple-double. Which is unique, especially for his position”, Mike Brown commented. “He does everything for us. He’s the hub of our offense and even better for us defensively as well. We ask him to do so much for us: rebound, score the ball, play-make, screen. That takes a lot out of a person, but he’s been well-equipped for it and he’s dominated at it”, De’Aaron Fox followed.

Domantas Sabonis has been impactful since day one with the Sacramento Kings and has been averaging 19.6 points, 12.8 rebounds, and 7.5 assists per game this season.

For Toronto, on the other side, Jacob Poeltl had 14 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 assists with 7/10 from the field. Dennis Schroder came off the bench and provided 18 points and 3 assists, shooting 7/11 from the field but 0/4 from beyond the arc.
