Pistons Rally to Defeat Kings, 114-113

The Sacramento Kings suffered a heartbreaking 114-113 defeat to the Detroit Pistons after leading by 19 points in the third quarter. Jaden Ivey's four-point play with just 3.1 seconds left capped a remarkable comeback for the Pistons, who have now won three straight games. Cade Cunningham led Detroit with 33 points, while De'Aaron Fox scored 26 for Sacramento, which has now lost five consecutive games. The Kings were without All-NBA center Domantas Sabonis due to illness and struggled to close out the game, managing only two field goals in the final 3:36. This loss marked Sacramento's longest homestand losing streak since coach Mike Brown took over in 2022. The Kings are now 3-11 in games decided by five points or less this season, raising concerns about their ability to finish games effectively.
