DeRozan stepped through the two defenders and sank a leaning shot, giving Sacramento a 129-128 win.
That had to frustrate the newest Maverick, Max Christie, who played tough defense on DeRozan on the game-winner, as well as tough defense on the fadeaway that the veteran hit late in regulation to send the game to overtime.

The Mavericks took a 12-point lead early in the fourth quarter, which was when DeRozan took over.
He had 15 of his game-high 42 points in the fourth, outscoring the Mavericks 15-13 over the last eight minutes of regulation.
Then after DeRozan hit two free throws to put Dallas down four, the Mavs got big buckets from Kyrie Irving and Klay Thompson.

For two teams that lost stars at the deadline Sacramento sent De'Aaron Fox to San Antonio the Kings' remaining star was just a little more clutch than the Mavericks'.
