Sacramento Kings beat Detroit Pistons to win three straight games

The Sacramento Kings won a crucial away game with a 127-117 comeback against the Detroit Pistons, continuing to maintain their ninth position in the Western Conference and qualifying for the playoffs is just around the corner.

In this game, Zach Lavine scored 43 points and DeMar DeRozan also scored 37 points. The two core players joined forces to lead the Kings to a stunning reversal and win three consecutive victories when the team was once behind by 18 points.

The Kings are currently ranked ninth in the Western Conference, one win ahead of the tenth-placed Dallas Mavericks. According to the competition system, the seventh to tenth-placed teams in the Western Conference will participate in the play-in tournament from April 15 to 18 to compete for the final playoff spot.

The Kings' biggest competitor is the Phoenix Suns, who are currently ranked 11th. The latter has four regular season games left, but is currently three wins behind the Kings and is in a precarious situation. If the Kings win one or two more games, they will most likely secure a place in the play-in round.

In the East, the Miami Heat defeated the Philadelphia 76ers 117-105 at home, consolidating their position in the Eastern Conference play-in zone. The 76ers suffered a 12-game losing streak and were eliminated from the playoff race early.

As for the Heat, they have already secured entry into the play-offs. Their next goal is to gain home-court advantage and make final adjustments for the playoffs.
