The Sacramento Kings defeated the Toronto Raptors 123–115 on April 1 at Scotiabank Arena, with DeMar DeRozan and P. Achiuwa each scoring 28 points to lead the visitors past a Raptors team that shot efficiently but couldn't match Sacramento's rebounding dominance. Toronto's R. Barrett and C. Murray-Boyles each added 20 points, and the Raptors shot 54.5 percent from the field while connecting on 9 three-pointers, yet Sacramento's 48 rebounds to Toronto's 32 proved decisive in a contest that finished well below the Vegas total of 227.5. The Kings compensated for a modest 45.7 percent field-goal mark by draining 12 threes and forcing 13 turnovers from Toronto's 33 assists, establishing a +5.9 offensive-rating advantage over the course of the game. Sacramento's balanced fourth quarter (33 points) mirrored Toronto's resilience, though the Raptors' defensive rating of 124.5 left them vulnerable down the stretch. The loss leaves Toronto searching for consistency as Sacramento's rebounding and three-point volume continue to anchor their late-season push.
