It’s no news that the Sacramento Kings are always relying on Domantas Sabonis to deliver, and his performances are huge on a daily basis.
In the most recent loss to the New Orleans Pelicans, the Lithuanian center had a monstrous losing effort of 22 points, 28 rebounds, and 5 assists.
This way, he converted himself into the third player in Sacramento’s history to have at least three 25+ rebound games.

The former Unicaja player wasn’t the only European delivering a huge performance but ending up in a defeat for his team, as Lauri Markkanen had a 20-point night in Utah’s loss to the Clippers, where Ivica Zubac (10 points, 8 rebounds) and Bogdan Bogdanovic both came up victorious.
Luka Garza (8 points, 8 rebounds) stepped up from the bench to help give Minnesota the significant win against Oklahoma City, while Isaiah Hartenstein had a double-double of 10 points and 12 boards in the loss.
Finally, Alperen Sengun also had a double-double with 10 points and 13 rebounds but ultimately the Houston Rockets were defeated by the Golden State Warriors.
