So much for moral victories

Sacramento, CA (Sports Network) - Tyreke Evans logged his first career triple- double with 19 points, 10 rebounds and as many assists, as Sacramento cruised to a 113-90 win over a struggling Toronto Raptors club.

Beno Udrih led all scorers with 24 points, while Donte Greene and Carl Landry chipped in 15 points apiece for the Kings, who put the brakes on a three-game losing streak.

Andrea Bargnani had 20 points and six rebounds for the Raptors, who have dropped three in a row and seven of eight games overall. Chris Bosh, Jarrett Jack and DeMar DeRozan each scored 14 points.

Toronto held a slim 25-24 edge after 12 minutes of play and was up 45-40 at halftime after the Kings produced a paltry 16 points in the second.

Sacramento more than made up for the effort with a whopping 43 points in the third, doubling up Toronto's 23 points and netting an 83-68 lead going into the final period.

It started with a 12-0 run out of the break, and Evans' jumper to cap things had the Kings ahead 52-45. Evans sank two at the line to increase the lead to 10 with 4 1/2 minutes left and the hosts ended on an 11-4 run to build momentum heading to the final period.

Omri Casspi put in back-to-back baskets less than two minutes into the fourth for an 89-70 game and a quick six-point Kings burst at the halfway point took the margin to 23 on a Landry jumper.

Sacramento's lead reached 26 down the stretch.
