In this match, D. Sabonis scored 17 points (7/13 doubles, 3/5 penalties), rebounded 11 balls and made 7 assists in the 35 minutes he spent on the field.

After this achievement, Sab also tied with Hakeem Olajuwon and Moses Malone for the most double-doubles in a single season in modern NBA history (73 and 74).

The winners were led by Jalen Brunson, who scored 35 points (10/15 doubles, 2/5 triples, 9/10 free), 2 rebounds and 11 assists.
After this failure, the Sacramento club fell to eighth place in the NBA Western Conference standings.
