Watch Sabonis throw down monster slam over Blazers defenders

Share

The Kings have plenty to look forward to this season, and Tom Dierberger breaks down some games fans won’t want to miss including Tyrese Halliburton’s return, and Keegan Murray and Jaden Ivey’s first NBA matchup.

The Kings' preseason seems to be off to a solid start. 

After Sacramento's 105-75 win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Oct. 3, the Kings are harnessing that momentum against the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday, thanks in part to Domantas Sabonis' massive dunk toward the end of the first quarter of their 126-94 win.

Rolling to the basket after receiving a pass from Kings guard Davion Mitchell, Sabonis elevated in between and over two Trail Blazers for a monster jam, bringing his teammates and the fans at Golden 1 Center to their feet. 

Though Sabonis was seen working on his shot earlier in the preseason with De'Aaron Fox, the 26-year-old still is deadly around the rim, whether it is with a smooth layup or a vicious poster dunk

Sabonis' dunk brought life to the team as the Kings entered halftime with a 70-53 lead. He ended up finishing with 13 points on 50 percent shooting from the field and 50 percent shooting from deep. He also collected seven rebounds and four assists. 

Rookie Keegan Murray had a team-high 16 points, and both Fox and Terrence Davis finished with 14 apiece.
