BOSTON (AP) Domantas Sabonis had 23 points and a career-high 28 rebounds and the Sacramento Kings used a fourth quarter rally to beat the Boston Celtics 114-97 on Friday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The victory extended Sacramento’s season-high win streak to six games. It was Sabonis\u2019 33rd double-double of the season and 24th game of his career with 20 or more rebounds. Entering Friday, the NBA\u2019s previous high for rebounds in a game this season was 23 by San Antonio’s Victor Wembanyama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DeMar DeRozan added 24 points and nine assists, and Malik Monk finished with 22 points and eight assists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Boston has lost two of its last three.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jaylen Brown led the Celtics with 28 points, Kristaps Porzingis added 22 points and 10 rebounds, and Jayson Tatum had 15 points and 12 rebounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The game was tied at 76 after three quarters. Sacramento then took command, opening the fourth on a 24-9 run to take a 100-85 lead with 6:03 to play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kings: Another strong effort by Sacramento, which outscored Boston 48-40 in the paint and held a 56-43 rebounding edge. And they did it without De\u2019Aaron Fox, who missed his third straight game with a bruised glute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Celtics: After a 3-1 road trip that included wins over Minnesota and Denver, Boston dropped to 13-7 at TD Garden this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the Kings leading 84-79, Sabonis grabbed his 24th rebound of the game and stepped back for an uncontested 3-pointer as part of Sacramento\u2019s run to open the fourth quarter. It was a microcosm of a night in which the Kings outhustled the Celtics to loose balls. Sacramento outscored Boston 38-21 in the final period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tatum\u2019s eight turnovers are most by a Celtics player this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kings visit Chicago on Sunday, and Celtics host New Orleans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
