Harrison Barnes didn’t look like himself at the start of the season, but now the veteran forward looks like an indispensable piece for a team that hopes to end the NBA’s longest playoff drought.
Barnes scored 29 points to lead the Kings to a 132-119 victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday evening at AT&T Center. Barnes went 8 of 11 from the field, 4 of 6 from 3-point range and 9 of 11 at the free-throw line to help the Kings win their fourth in a row.
De’Aaron Fox scored 23 points and Domantas Sabonis posted his franchise-record 20th consecutive double-double with 18 points, 18 rebounds and eight assists. Davion Mitchell came off the bench to score 19 points on 7-of-8 shooting with four 3-pointers for the Kings (24-18), who moved six games over .500 for the first time since April 2006.
