Coming off two consecutive losses, the Sacramento Kings went into Monday's game against the Charlotte Hornets on a mission. The Kings stormed out to an 18-point lead at halftime, primarily led by star guard Zach LaVine, who has struggled to step up since getting traded to Sacramento a few weeks ago.

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.
