Malik Monk and Maxime Raynaud combined for 56 points, Russell Westbrook added to his unmatched triple-double total, and the Sacramento Kings won for just the third time in their last 23 games with a 126-110 victory over the visiting Chicago Bulls on Sunday night.
Monk led the way off the bench with 30 points and Raynaud added 26 for the Kings, who have now gone 3-4 since a 16-game losing streak.
Westbrook, the all-time leader in triple-doubles, recorded his fifth of the season and the 208th of his career with 23 points, 11 rebounds and a game-high 12 assists.
Collin Sexton came off the bench to pour in 28 points for the Bulls, who had opened a five-game Western swing with a win at Phoenix on Thursday night.
The Kings dominated most of the game, using a 12-2 run at the end of the first quarter to erase a five-point deficit and take the lead for good. Monk had two dunks and a 3-pointer in the spurt.
With Raynaud completing an 18-point half, the Kings extended their lead to as many as 15 points in the second period, allowing them to coast home.
Down 14 at the break, the Bulls got no closer than nine over the final 24 minutes.
Monk shot 11-for-24 and Raynaud 10-for-20 for the Kings, who outshot the visitors 44.8% to 41.7%. Raynaud completed a double-double with 11 rebounds.
Daeqwon Plowden chipped in with 16 points and Precious Achiuwa 13 for the Kings, who had just four turnovers that produced just four Chicago points. Westbrook's triple-double also came with a zero in the turnover column.
The Bulls, meanwhile, turned the ball over 14 times, which helped account for a 105-84 Sacramento edge in field-goal attempts.
Josh Giddey had a triple-double of his own for the Bulls with 15 points, a game-high 12 rebounds and 10 assists. Nick Richards put up a double-double with 10 points and 11 rebounds.
Matas Buzelis added 20 points and Tre Jones 12 for Chicago, which had completed a 13-point home win over Sacramento in October.
