The Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the Sacramento Kings 132–126 on February 7 at Golden 1 Center, with Donovan Mitchell's 35 points and Jarrett Allen's 29 points leading a balanced offensive attack. Cleveland shot 52.3 percent from the field and made 11 three-pointers while limiting turnovers to 11, establishing a 126.8 offensive rating against Sacramento's 122.6. The Cavaliers' fourth-quarter surge proved decisive—they outscored the Kings 39–30 in the final frame after trailing by six at the end of three quarters. Sacramento's Naz Clifford scored 30 points and Russell Westbrook added 21, but the Kings' 51.1 field-goal percentage and 16 three-pointers weren't enough to overcome Cleveland's late offensive explosion. The game fell short of the Vegas total of 229.5, as both teams combined for 258 points. With the win, Cleveland continues its strong form while Sacramento faces questions about closing out tight contests.
