Kings 112, Jazz 102 (OT): DeMarcus Cousins scored 28 points and Isaiah Thomas had six of his 26 in overtime as visiting Sacramento edged Utah to snap a six-game slide.
Thomas added eight assists and Ben McLemore scored 15 points - including the tying 3-pointer in regulation - to go along with nine boards for the Kings. Jason Thompson also reached double figures with 11 points.
Gordon Hayward scored 22 points and rookie Trey Burke came near a triple-double with 19 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists as the Jazz lost their third straight game. Alec Burks chipped in 19 points off the bench and Richard Jefferson collected 13 and six boards.
Burke’s free throws with 11 seconds left put Utah up 97-94 before McLemore drained a 3-pointer off a feed from Thomas to force overtime. Burke’s 3-pointer gave Utah a 102-101 lead with 3:41 left in overtime but Sacramento scored the next 11 points to dominate the extra session.
The Jazz led by as many as 10 points with 5:39 left in the second quarter after a stretch of three 3-pointers in as many possessions - one from Burks sandwiched between a pair by Jefferson - and took a 50-47 lead into the half. Thomas scored Sacramento’s final nine points of the third to put the Kings on top 74-70, and it was an 84-75 cushion before the Jazz scored the next 16 points to take back the lead.
