The Kings opened a short trip without a starter and their top rookie while facing the league’s best team on its home floor.
However, Sacramento has been among the better teams on the road this season. It showed again Sunday night.
Behind 28-point efforts from De’Aaron Fox and Buddy Hield, the Kings left Dallas with a 120-113 victory over the Mavericks. It was their third consecutive victory at the arena.
The Kings improved to 9-7 away from Golden 1 Center, and their winning percentage of 56.3 is fourth-best in the NBA. They are just four wins away from the 13 they had all last season.
