The Sacramento Kings up-ended the Golden State Warriors 109-106 in overtime Saturday, ending a 13-game losing streak against the NBA Western Conference power. Kings forward DeMarcus Cousins scored 32 points with 12 rebounds and nine assists as Sacramento bounced back from a heart-breaking loss to the Phoenix Suns Friday, when Devin Booker's buzzer-beater sealed the win for the last-place team in the West. Warriors coach Steve Kerr had already been ejected from the game when it came down to the final seconds of overtime. With the Warriors down 107-106, NBA Most Valuable Player Stephen Curry missed two layups that could have given them the lead. Darren Collison made two free throws to stretch Sacramento's lead to 109-106 with 2.5 seconds remaining and Warriors forward Draymond Green, wide open at the top of the three-point arc, missed as the final tenths of a second ticked off the clock. A technical foul called on Green, for arguing a call against teammate Kevon Looney, riled Kerr in the third quarter. Kerr stormed the court and was thrown out of the game.
