3/15/23: Chicago 109, Sacramento 98

The Sacramento Kings have been on a maddening stretch, having alternated wins and losses for the last 10 games. The latest following a win was a 109-98 road loss to the Chicago Bulls.

The Kings (40-28) were awful in the first half, including a second-quarter total of just 16 points. De’Aaron Fox had 32 points, though 17 came in the fourth quarter when the game was out of reach.

Future Kings DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine led the Bulls with 26 and 23 points, respectively.

The Kings led for much of the first quarter, but never by more than four points. Late in the period, however, the Bulls went on a game-changing 14-0 run to go up 28-16, and the Kings never recovered. It was 30-23 at the end of the first quarter, and 60-39 at halftime.

The Bulls scored the first basket of the third quarter to take what would be their largest lead of the game of 23 points at 62-39. The Kings got no closer than the final margin of 11 in the final minutes.
