SALT LAKE CITY — – Keyonte George<\/a> scored 31 points and Lauri Markkanen<\/a> added 28 to help the Utah Jazz<\/a> snap a four-game skid with a 128-119 victory over the Sacramento Kings<\/a> on Friday night.<\/p>\n

Brice Sensabaugh<\/a> had 20 points for the Jazz, who finished 1\/3 in NBA Cup group play.<\/p>\n

Russell Westbrook<\/a>, the NBA leader in triple-doubles, had the 206th of his career with 16 points, a season-high 14 assists and 12 rebounds for Sacramento, which went winless in four NBA Cup games. Zach LaVine<\/a> led the Kings with 34 points, and Keegan Murray<\/a> had 23 points and nine rebounds.<\/p>\n

Trailing by 11 at halftime, Sacramento trimmed the deficit to 67-65 on a 3-pointer from Murray but got no closer.<\/p>\n

George hit back-to-back 3-pointers and followed with a floater to help Utah regain a double-digit lead. The Jazz closed the third quarter on a 10-0 run, capped by Jusuf Nurkic’s layup for a 90-73 lead.<\/p>\n

Utah held Sacramento without a field goal for six minutes on its way to building a double-digit lead early in the second quarter. Markkanen made three baskets and hit a pair of free throws to fuel a 20-2 run that put the Jazz up 39-27.<\/p>\n

Sacramento cut the deficit to 55-51 on a 3-pointer by LaVine that punctuated a 10-2 run. Markkanen countered with a 3 and then beat the buzzer with a layup to extend Utah’s lead to 62-51 going into halftime.<\/p>\n
