De'Aaron Fox saved eight of his 14 points for a game-ending flurry, DeMar DeRozan scored 32 points and the Sacramento Kings overcame an big deficit to beat the visiting Golden State Warriors 123-117 on Wednesday night.

Seeking to rebound from a 40-point home loss to Boston on Monday, the Warriors used a 41-point second quarter to build as much as an 18-point lead. Golden State was still up 113-109 after an Andrew Wiggins 3-pointer before Sacramento dominated the final 4:03.

While Golden State was missing six straight shots and going scoreless for more than three minutes, the Kings rattled off 10 consecutive points to take a lead that turned into the 10th win in their past 11 games.

The Kings got a 14-footer from DeRozan and two Fox free throws to draw even at 113-113 with 2:15 remaining, then two foul shots from Malik Monk and two free throws and a layup from Fox in the 10-point run that put the hosts up 119-113 with 1:07 left.

Stephen Curry, who had been scoreless in the second half, got Golden State within four on a 5-footer that ended Golden State's drought with 40.3 seconds left, but Monk connected from short range 15 seconds later and the Kings held on from there.

Domantas Sabonis had 26 points, going 8-for-8 at the foul line, as the Kings took advantage of a 32-13 disparity in foul-shot attempts to overcome a huge disadvantage in 3-point shooting.

Fox went 10-for-10 at the line, helping the Kings outscore the visitors 30-9 from the stripe.

Sabonis also found time for a game-high 18 rebounds while Monk compiled 20 points and a team-high nine assists. Keegan Murray made it five Kings in double figures with 13 points.

Wiggins logged a team-high 25 points for the Warriors, making five of his 11 3-point attempts. Buddy Hield added five threes on a 17-point night and Gui Santos made four threes among 16 points off the bench as Golden State shot 22-for-48 (45.8 percent) from deep.

The Kings went just 11-for-30 (36.7 percent) from beyond the arc.

Curry made just one 3-pointer on four attempts, finishing with 14 points to complement a game-high 12 assists.

Trayce Jackson-Davis chipped in with 11 points and a team-high eight rebounds for the Warriors, who fell to 0-2 against Sacramento this season. Moses Moody added 11 points.
