Sacramento Kings at Utah Jazz
· National Basketball AssociationMurray scores 26 points to spark hot-shooting Kings to a 118-101 win over Jazz

Murray made five 3-pointers, LaVine had four and Keon Ellis returned to the court to make three 3s as the Kings made 15 of 36 from beyond the arc. Sacramento was equally potent inside the paint with 50 points and shot 52.9% overall to start their four-game road swing.
Murray scored on a mix of dunks, drives and his trademark long jumpers while topping 20 points for the first time since he had 21 on Nov. 24 in a loss to Brooklyn.
Walker Kessler had a season-high 25 points and 14 rebounds for Utah, which has lost four of five. Kessler — who shot 10 for 10 from the field and had five assists — joined Nikola Jokic as the only players in NBA history with at least 25 points, 10 rebounds, five assists and no turnovers while shooting 100% from the field.
KJ Martin had his best game since arriving in Utah at the trade deadline with 16 points.
Jazz: Beyond Kessler, the decimated Jazz had no inside threat, which was amplified by poor perimeter shooting.
