There's no place like home for the Sacramento Kings. 

DeMar DeRozan and Domantas Sabonis combined for 58 points as the Kings overturned an 18-point deficit to frustrate the Golden State Warriors, 123-117, for a seventh straight win at their crib.    

DeRozan waxed hot to start the second frame, posting 19 markers off a perfect 7-of-7 shooting on a night when Sacramento outscored Golden State, 37-20. He finished with 32 points. 

Sabonis recorded his 38th double-double with a monster 26-point, 18-rebound outing, while Malik Monk added 20 markers and nine dimes. 

It was the third straight victory for the Kings, who are now 23-20 overall and improved to 10-2 under interim head coach Dough Christie. 

Andrew Wiggins led the Warriors with 25 points, while Stephen Curry ended up with a double-double of 14 markers and 12 assists. 

Sacrament embarks on a six-game road trip starting in Denver against the Nuggets (27-16) while Golden State returns home to host the Chicago Bulls (19-25).
