Sacramento Kings at Miami Heat
· National Basketball AssociationSabonis' putback with less than a second left lifts Kings past Heat, 111-110

DeAaron Fox scored 28 for Sacramento, while DeMar DeRozan finished with 26. Sabonis — who grabbed Fox's miss in the final moments and made the game's final basket — finished with 16 points, 16 rebounds and seven assists.
Jimmy Butler scored 15 of his 27 points in the fourth quarter and Tyler Herro added 27 for the Heat. Bam Adebayo — on the night his Olympic gold medal banner was unfurled — scored 16 for Miami, which got 13 from rookie Pelle Larsson.
Terry Rozier's 30-footer at the buzzer missed for the Heat, who were 7 for 12 from the foul line in the fourth. Sacramento improved to 6-31 all-time at Miami.
Heat: Kevin Love was back on the bench after being away for the first five games while dealing with a personal matter. He did not play, and Miami was also without Jaime Jaquez Jr. (gastroenteritis).
