Sacramento CA  The Sacramento Kings (20-39) looked to get some redemption after suffering a loss to the Minnesota Timber Wolves on Saturday by hosting a struggling New Orleans Pelicans team.  The Kings were able to hold off the Pelicans by the score of 96-89. 

The Kings were lead by Demarcus Cousins 23 points on 5 for 13 shooting and a remarkable 13-16 from the free throw line.  Cousins who has been under heat for his quick temper kept him self in check and lead his team to a much need victory.

The Pelicans were led by former King and rookie of the year Tyreke Evans who had 27 points in his old home.  Evans may have had some bad feelings since leaving Sacramento when he was once considered to the future of the franchise, before the arrival of Cousins.

The Kings will look to capitalize on the spark of energy as they head to Milwaukee to take on the Bucks, while the Pelicans head to Dallas to get back on track.
