Kings 113, Suns 108
Samuel Dalembert sparked an early fourth-quarter run with eight of his 18 points as the Sacramento Kings snapped a 10-game road losing streak in Phoenix on Sunday with a 113-108 victory over the Suns.
Carl Landry scored 12 of his 20 points in the third quarter and Dalembert added 15 rebounds and three blocks in place of DeMarcus Cousins, who was suspended one game after an altercation with Donte Green following Saturday’s loss to Oklahoma City.
With the triumph, the Kings won a third straight road game for the first time since the 2007-08 season.
Steve Nash had 22 points and 18 assists and Marcin Gortat added 20 and 12 rebounds for the Suns, who had won three straight and six of seven.
Landry helped cut a seven-point halftime deficit to three entering the fourth quarter. Dalembert then sparked a 15-2 opening run that provided the Kings a 93-83 lead with six minutes left.
Green, who capped the run with five straight points, hit a turnaround jumper from the right block and added a three-point play down the stretch to keep Sacramento ahead. He finished with 19 points on 7-of-10 shooting.
