Sacramento’s roster issues and scoring leaders

Keegan Murray and DeMar DeRozan each led the Kings with 20 points, while Malik Monk scored 19. Maxime Raynaud, a rookie from Stanford and a friend of Wembanyama from France, added 16 points and 12 rebounds.

Raynaud’s hustle, a late Kings push and what ultimately fell short

Undermanned Sacramento hustled back into the game and trailed by just one with less than five minutes remaining in the third quarter. Maxime Raynaud collected seven offensive rebounds and several times tapped the ball back to teammates for open shots, but those efforts were not enough to overcome San Antonio’s runs and Wembanyama’s late third-quarter plays.
