MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP)– Malik Monk scored 27 points, Domantas Sabonis included 13 points, 21 rebounds and 12 helps and the Sacramento Kings routed the Memphis Grizzlies 123-92 on Sunday night.

De’Aaron Fox scored 24 for the Kings, who won their 2nd straight. Sabonis taped his 6th triple-double of the season. Sacramento shot 50% general and 52% from beyond the arc before both groups went to the reserves to liquidate the video game. Monk was 10 of 13 from the field and missed out on simply among his 5 3-point shots.

Jaren Jackson led Memphis with 18 points. Desmond Bane, Ja Morant and Luke Kennard completed with 17 points each as the Grizzlies lost their 3rd in a row.

The Grizzlies returned home after a 2-2 journey, losing the last 2 versus the Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Clippers. For the very first time, Memphis had the majority of its lineup readily available versus the Kings, other than for frontline gamers Steven Adams and Brandon Clarke, who are handling long-lasting healings.

Kennard was among those returning after missing out on 20 video games with a left knee contusion.

The Kings were coming off a 117-110 win over Atlanta on Friday in which Fox had 31 points and they set up 70 points in the very first half, shooting near 50%, consisting of 9 of 19 from outside the arc.

The Kings opened the 2nd half on a 15-3 run that extended the result in 85-61 as Memphis missed its very first 8 shots in the quarter. Sacramento outscored Memphis 31-21 in the 3rd duration for a 101-79 lead.
