Williams scored after receiving an inbound pass from Devin Harris with 2.3 seconds left and pump faking to drive past Sacramento defender Rudy Gay in the left corner. Dallas scored their last eight points after falling behind 116-109 with 1:20 left in the second overtime.

DeMarcus Cousins had 35 points for his third straight 30-point game for the Kings, including a layup just before the buzzer to tie the score at 98 at the end of regulation. Former Mavericks guard Rajon Rondo was out due to back spasms in his first visit to Dallas since a bitter split following an unfortunate half-season with the team.
