The Miami Heat defeated the Sacramento Kings, 115-106, at Kaseya Center on Wednesday night.

The Heat (25-23) came into the night desperate for a win of any margin after losing seven consecutive games, and they impressively jumped out in front of their talented visitors by a 28-22 margin through one. The Kings (27-19) did bounce back in the second with a 33-point tally that helped them lop off two points from that deficit prior to halftime. Miami kept its foot on the gas during the second half, keeping Sacramento at a relatively comfortable distance for the slump-busting victory.

Keegan Murray led the Kings with 33 points, complementing them with five rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal. Domantas Sabonis produced a 19-point, 17-rebound, 13-assist triple-double that included one steal and one block. Kevin Huerter furnished 14 points, four assists, three rebounds and one steal. De'Aaron Fox supplied 13 points, five rebounds, three assists and two steals.

Jimmy Butler paced the Heat with 31 points, supplementing them with seven rebounds, six assists and one steal. Josh Richardson registered 24 points, five boards, three assists and one block. Bam Adebayo generated a 16-point, 11-rebound double-double that included four assists. Tyler Herro finished with 14 points, eight rebounds and eight assists.

The Kings remain on the road and visit the Indiana Pacers on Friday night, while the Heat visit the Washington Wizards on Friday night.
