Kings produce biggest comeback for 13 years to beat Bulls

CHICAGO,  (Reuters) – The Sacramento Kings produced  the NBA’s biggest come-from-behind win in 13 years when they  clawed back a 35-point deficit to beat the Chicago Bulls 102-98  on Monday.

The Bulls led 79-44 with 8:50 remaining in the third  quarter before being outscored 58-19 for the remainder of the  game.

“It’s unheard of to do what just happened,” Sacramento  coach Paul Westphal told reporters. “I’m not even sure I  believe it, but it sure was fun.”

Rookie Tyreke Evans scored nine of his 23 points in the  final 2:13 as the Kings (13-14) rallied for the NBA’s biggest  comeback since the Utah Jazz overcame a 36-point deficit to  beat the Denver Nuggets in 1996, according to the Elias Sports  Bureau.

“This one stings,” Chicago (10-16) coach Vinny Del Negro  said. “We got a little bit complacent. It’s frustrating but you  can’t feel sorry for yourself, you have to go out and play.”
