Utah has been fiesty to start the season, knocking off the LA Clippers at home in the season opener, and coming close to going 2-0, up on Sacramento in the final 10 seconds Friday night.
Then Domantas Sabonis got the board and the putback.

Malik Monk had 20 off the bench for the Kings, and Dennis Schroder scored 17. Utah’s Lauri Markkanen led all scorers with 33.
The win meant Russell Westbrook — who had seven points off the bench for the Kings — got to light the beam for the first time.
