Domantas Sabonis and Bogdan Bogdanovic had huge losing efforts

By Eurohoops team / info@eurohoops.net

In the game that will be remembered mainly for Alperen Sengun’s injury, crossing everybody’s fingers ahead of the MRI he will undergo on his right knee and ankle after landing roughly in Sacramento, the Kings lost 112-104 at home to the Houston Rockets.

Domantas Sabonis ended with a huge stat line of 25 points, 15 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 steals, and 2 blocks – with also 9 turnovers, though – while shooting 10/11 from the field. He has now extended his double-double streak to 46 games, trying with Jerry Lucas for the longest in Sacramento’s history.

Likewise, Bogdan Bogdanovic’s 25 points and 7 assists night couldn’t avoid the Atlanta Hawks‘ loss to New Orleans, being defeated 116-103 by the Pelicans. Clint Capela also had a dominant performance at the rim with 18 points and 14 rebounds, but it wasn’t enough.
