Kings 112, Mavericks 97: DeMarcus Cousins had 32 points and matched a season high with 19 rebounds and Derrick Williams scored a career-high 31 points as host Sacramento routed Dallas.

Point guard Isaiah Thomas scored 24 points and recorded a career-best 12 assists after assuming the starting position. The Kings officially announced the seven-player deal earlier Monday that sent point guard Greivis Vasquez to Toronto as part of the package to acquire forward Rudy Gay.

Monta Ellis scored 21 points and Dirk Nowitzki added 18 for the Mavericks, who had a three-game winning streak halted. Jose Calderon added 11 points for Dallas.

The lead was extended to 24 early in the fourth quarter as the Kings continued the assault before the bench was cleared with 4:02 to play. The victory was the second straight for Sacramento following a six-game skid.
