As has become the usual for Sacramento , superstar center DeMarcus `` Boogie `` Cousins led the way in just about every area for the Kings . Cousins posted team highs in points , rebounds , assists , and steals , with 22 , 14 , six , and two respectively . The impressive numbers came on what was a relatively `` off `` night for the star , as he shot just 8 - of - 21 from the field and 5 - of - 8 from the free - throw line with six turnovers . Sixth man Ty Lawson was dominant off the bench , posting 19 points and six assists in just 23 minutes . Detroit 's bench , meanwhile , did it no favors . While typical starter Tobias Harris scored 15 , the remaining backups combined for only 15 themselves . Two starters posted double - doubles , as center Andre Drummond scored 14 with 12 rebounds , and point guard Reggie Jackson scored 18 to go with 11 assists . The visiting Sacramento Kings took down the Detroit Pistons on Monday , 109 - 104 . Sacramento ( 19 - 27 ) was relieved to win the close game after losing its last contest on a questionable call in the final minute against Chicago . Superstar center DeMarcus Cousins voiced his disdain through sarcastic praise of the referees to the media . Cousins did not let the frustration carry over to the court , however , as he continued his consistently strong play . The All-Star led the Kings with 22 points , 14 rebounds , six assists , two steals , and a block against Detroit . His rebounding effort helped the team earn a strong seven - rebound advantage on the glass , a difference that ended up helping Sacramento to take the game . For Detroit ( 21 - 25 ) , the win does not help the team 's effort to push into the wide - open bottom of the Eastern Conference playoff race . The Pistons had sat just one game back of the eighth seed , but now trail Chicago by a game and a half . Most things went right for the Pistons on Monday , as the team came out for a strong 38 - point first quarter and finished shooting 50 percent from the field . The team hit ten three - pointers and dished out a stellar 27 assists as well . However , a weak bench performance , both on offense and on the glass , ended up hampering the efforts of Detroit 's starting five . The Kings will visit Cleveland on Wednesday , while Detroit will not face off until Saturday in Miami .
