The Sacramento Kings defeated the Detroit Pistons, 110-107, at Little Caesars Arena on Friday evening.

The Kings (13-20) and the Pistons (9-24) played a tight, back-and-forth contest between two struggling franchises -- and the game was only decided in the final seconds of the contest. The Kings grabbed an early 10-point lead following the first quarter (35-25), but the Pistons quickly flipped the script and won both the second and third quarters, 27-20 and 28-20, respectively, to grab a five-point lead ahead of the final 12 minutes of action. The Kings had to mount a comeback and that's exactly what they did, outscoring the Pistons 35-27 in the final quarter to march towards victory. With the win, the Kings ended their back-to-back set with a 1-1 record, while the Pistons continue to show why they're one of the worst teams in The Association.
