Zach LaVine scored a season-high 42 points in his finest game with Sacramento since being acquired in a multi-team trade near the deadline, leading the Kings to a 130-88 win over the Charlotte Hornets on Monday night.

For the first time, Kings guard Zach LaVine treated the Sacramento crowd to a dazzling array of dunks and long-distance shooting.

The Kings withstood an ugly stretch of basketball in the third quarter and still had 18 turnovers, but the intensity and effort was there from the jump. Tonight was a game where the good heavily outweighed the bad and was a step in the right direction against the struggling Hornets.
