Sacramento closed out its five-game, 11-day road trip with an all-around effort as 10 different players scored in the win over Dallas.
Led by former Maverick Darren Collison’s eight points, a strong defensive showing in the game’s opening quarter netted the team an early advantage. The team forced five Dallas turnovers in the early going, extending the lead to as many as 13 in the ensuing quarter.
By the halftime break, Rudy Gay and DeMarcus Cousins combined for 24 of the squad’s 56 points. An 8-of-17 three-point shooting performance by Dallas kept the game close though, closing the gap from 13 to just four at the break.
