Miami Heat vs. Sacramento Kings: Live Score, Results and Game Highlights
Coming off back-to-back losses, the Miami Heat desperately need a win. It's a good thing they're going up against the 13-23 Sacramento Kings.
We're under way in Sacramento. Stay current with live updates throughout the game after the break.
There's just one way to describe the Heat's 128-99 beat down of the Kings.
Well that one was ugly for the Sacramento Kings.
Led by Mario Chalmers' 34 points on 10-of-13 shooting from beyond the arc, the Heat dominated the Kings from the tip.
Yes, I said led by Chalmers.
LeBron did his own thing 20 points, seven assists, five rebounds, five steals and two blocks, and Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade combined for 27 points on the night.
The Kings were never in it against the Heat. They were almost out-rebounded, which is absolutely shocking, considering the Heat's rebounding woes.
Isaiah Thomas put up 34 points and five assists for the Kings, but that couldn't make up for their overall lackadaisical effort.
The Heat will be looking to carry the momentum from this one into the final stretch of their road trip that ends on Jan. 17th against the Los Angeles Lakers.
The Kings on the other hand will be looking to forget about this ugly loss sooner rather than later.

When the commentator says: "we're seeing a lot from Thomas Robinson in these last few minutes", don't believe him because in reality he's playing against a bunch of scrubs.
It only proves he's good at out-playing mediocre players.

Why would Spoelstra take Chalmers out?
I think coaches should get fined when they take players out when they're chasing individual accolades. I mean the NBA is full of one-on-one players right?
Heat 126, Kings 93—1:45 remaining in the 4th quarter
LeBron and Wade on the bench are like: "so where is this Chalmers every other day?"
Heat 124, Kings 91, Chalmers 34—2:52 remaining in the 4th quarter
Jarvis Varnado just grabbed a rebound and lost it out of bounds. That's not what the Heat need from him, they already have 5 bench players that can do that.

Mario Chalmers drained a 40-footer to give himself 31 on the night. Please just let him keep shooting, I'm thinking he could get 40-plus.

Yo, I can rebound.

Spo hears, and he responds by giving the Heat fans what they want.
Jarvis Varnado is in the game.

If we were in South Beach all we'd be hearing would be #Jarvis! #Jarvis #Jarvis! chants
Ok Spo, enough, we want Jarvis!

Is it just me, or does James Johnson really look like Denzel Washington.

It's not over yet ... Oh wait, I guess it is.
Hopefully Heat can build off this momentum and finish this road trip out strong. (With Wins) #LetsGoHeat

Rashard Lewis just joined the three-party. As if there wasn't enough bad news for the Kings ...

LeBron and Wade are on the bench looking like they've done all their work for the night.
That's a shame because with 3 more assists, 5 rebounds and 5 steals, LeBron could've had a quadruple-double. I think the Heat need to hire me to remind LeBron of the records he could set every game.

More impressive stat line?
(A) LeBron James — 20 points, 7 assists, 5 rebounds, 5 steals, 2 blocks, 70 percent shooting
(B) Mario Chalmers — 28 points, 72.7 3PFG%
(C) Isaiah Thomas — 31 points, 71.4 3PFG%

Mario Chalmers (8-11 from 3-point land) and Isaiah Thomas (4-6) are putting on an absolute show right now.
Chalmers with 28, Thomas with 28 ...

I mean we all knew the Heat would probably win this one, but let's be honest ... a 38-point lead in the 3rd quarter?
Yea I don't think many thought that would happen.
Heat 98, Kings 60—1:49 remaining in the 3rd quarter
#HEATgame: @mchalmers15 knocks down his 7th 3-pointer of the game! HEAT now lead 93-60 late in the 3rdQ.

Isaiah Thomas with 19 points on the night, 10 in the 3rd quarter is doing all he can to keep the Kings in this.
Well, he's not really keeping them in it, but it's not really his fault either. Either way, it's time for some Thomas highlights.
Heat 89, Kings 58—4:00 remaining in the 3rd quarter
This would've been a 24-second shot clock violation by the way. #RememberWhereYouCameFrom
#HEATgame: @kingjames passes ahead to @dwyanewade for another transition dunk! HEAT now lead by 30 midway through the 3rdQ.

Good news Kings' fans, Mario Chalmers is indeed human, he missed a three-pointer.
I was starting to think that he was a robot.
Heat 85, Kings 55—5:54 remaining in the 3rd quarter
That mid-air 360 pass by LeBron James looked a lot cooler because Mario Chalmers knocked down the three-ball (His 6th, yes 6th of the night)
Heat 77, Kings 51, Chalmers 22—8:02 remaining in the 3rd quarter

It's amazing that the Heat have lost 5 of their last 8 (23-11) and are still atop the Eastern Conference.
In the West it would be a completely different story.
