Sacramento’s Precious Achiuwa had the best scoring night of his NBA career, pouring in 29 points and grabbing 12 rebounds to help the Kings beat the Mavericks 130–121 in Dallas.
Achiuwa was efficient from the floor, going 13-for-19 and perfect on his three 3-point attempts, while Maxime Raynaud added 22 points and Daeqwon Plowden contributed 19 off the bench in the victory.
For Dallas, Naji Marshall scored a season-high 36 points with 10 rebounds, but the Mavs couldn’t overcome an early deficit. They struggled with turnovers and inconsistent free-throw shooting, which ultimately hurt their comeback hopes.
Late in the fourth quarter, Dallas cut Sacramento’s lead to two, but Achiuwa responded with a putback and Plowden hit a three to push the lead back out and seal the win for the Kings.
