[ad_1]

Sabonis, who played in the capital of Sacramento, California, for 39.5 minutes, scored 28 points (12/20 double, 0/1 trit., 4/4 penalty), bounced 11 balls, gave 3 assists, committed three mistakes and committed four infractions. .

Having reached the 10th double this season, D.

Sabonis, who was in the NBA championship, collected a total of 106 doubles.

To reach 107 double-doubles, D. Sabonis needed 301 matches. A.Sabonis had 106 doubles in 470 games.

According to double-digit performances, D. Sabonis is third among Lithuanians: he is only behind Jonas Valančiūnas (195) and Žydrūnas Ilgauskas (194).

This season, Sabonis is in the NBA’s elite doubles doubles category. Without him, only Andre Drummondas (11) and Nikola Jokičius (10) accumulated doubles in all the matches played.

Domas turned the rocket for accurate shots in the first half.

The Kings found no antidotes for Lithuania in the penalty area, and the Pacers players, wonderfully finding their leader, fed D. Sabonis balls in almost every attack. In total, the Lithuanian center scored 12 of his team’s first 19 points, but it did not help create an advantage for the team: the first 12 minutes ended with a level score of 30:30.

In the second quarter, the teams continued to play point by point, and D. Sabonis had already scored 16 points in the middle of the game.

After a long hiatus, the Sacramento team disbanded. The hosts, who started 10: 0, initially gained a 10-point lead and soon a 12-point lead (89:77), and only D. Sabonis managed to stop them.

The Lithuanian initially scored two points from a foul, soon added two more free throws, and in total he scored 9 points during the quarter and the Pacers were just 93:97 behind three quarters.

The Sacramento team started the fourth quarter again with a double-digit lead (103: 93), but the Pacers returned to the game and after D. Sabonis’ colón with a foul, the score tied – 110: 110.

In the decisive moments, the Indiana club was pulled by Victor Oladipo, who scored 7 points in a row, and D. Sabonis had the opportunity to lead his team just over a minute.

His shot from the backboard was blocked by Richunas Holmes, but the referees counted the Lithuanian attempt, and at that time the Lithuanian surname burned 30 points. However, with the help of a video review, the officials changed the decision: R. Holmes touched the ball before it hit the board, and the Pacers and D. Sabonis lost 2 costly points.

The “kings” who received the gift took advantage of him: in another attack, Buddy Hield hit a triple, and De’Aaron Fox put the cherry on the cake, broke D. Sabonis and made a landslide installation.

The Pacers lost for the first time this consecutive season and fell from second to fourth in the Eastern Conference.

“Kings”: Harrison Barnes 30 (10/14 shooting, 8/8 penalty, 8 rebounds), De’Aaron Fox 21 (9 res.), Buddy Hield 18 (6/11 trit.), Richmond Holmes 16 (10 pp.), Tyrese Haliburton 12.
