Christie spent countless hours with Sabonis over the past three years as his player development coach. Christie has watched Sabonis improve his 3-point shooting dramatically from 23.5% in his first season with the Kings to almost 48% this season while doubling his volume.

It’s rare to see an NBA big man known for his 3-point shooting, but Kings center Domantas Sabonis is adding himself as another exception to that narrative with his marksmanship. The Sacramento star is knocking down triples at a 48.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Domantas Sabonis had 29 points and 18 rebounds, and the Sacramento Kings beat the Washington Wizards 123-100 on Sunday night.

Slowly but surely, the Sacramento Kings are getting back into playoff form. They have been in very good shape since the firing of head coach Mike Brown and are currently eighth in the West with a 22-20 record.

The Kings remained unbeaten at home under interim coach Doug Christie after going 6-12 at Golden 1 Center to start the season.
