Led by Rudy Gay's 33 points, nine rebounds and four assists, Sacramento held off all Charlotte runs and never trailed to earn its 23rd win of the season.

Derrick Williams had two crowd-energizing dunks at the end of the third quarter and the start of the fourth, finishing with a bench-high 13 points. Meanwhile, Reggie Evans filled in for DeMarcus Cousins admirably, notching 16 rebounds in 21 minutes.
