The Sacramento Kings defeated the Chicago Bulls, 123-115, at United Center on Saturday night.

The Kings (29-19) were on the second night of a back-to-back set after a high-scoring victory over the fast-paced Pacers on Friday night, but it wasn't evident from the way they were able to start Saturday's contest. Sacramento had forged a 71-52 lead by halftime thanks to highly efficient offensive play, and although the Bulls (23-27) managed to cut that deficit to 10 during the third quarter and get to within three with 1:31 remaining, the visitors' game-ending 7-2 run ensured the victory.

De'Aaron Fox led the way for the Kings with 41 points, supplementing them with four rebounds, four assists and five steals. Malik Monk provided 22 points, seven assists five rebounds and one block. Trey Lyles supplied 16 points, five boards, three assists and two steals. Domantas Sabonis generated a 13-point, 14-rebound, 10-assist triple-double that also included one steal. Harrison Barnes netted 11 points.

Coby White paced the Bulls with 26 points, complementing them with six rebounds and four assists. Nikola Vucevic posted a 24-point, 12-rebound double-double that included three assists and one steal. DeMar DeRozan matched Vucevic's scoring and also produced seven rebounds, six assists and four steals. Ayo Dosunmu turned in 18 points, five assists, four rebounds and two steals.

The Kings remain on the road and visit the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday night, while the Bulls host the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday night.
