NEW ORLEANS (AP) \u2014 Trey Murphy III<\/a> made five 3-pointers and finished with 21 points, Jeremiah Fears<\/a> scored 14 of his 20 in the second half and the New Orleans Pelicans<\/a> sent the Sacramento Kings<\/a> to their 13th straight loss Monday night, 120-94.<\/p>\n

The Kings have their most consecutive losses since the franchise moved from Kansas City to Sacramento ahead of the 1985-86 season.<\/p>\n

Murphy has made 23 3-pointers on 40 attempts (72.5%) in the last three games. Zion Williamson<\/a> scored 18 points on 7-of-11 shooting and had six assists for New Orleans. <\/p>\n

Maxime Raynaud<\/a> had 21 points and career-high 20 rebounds \u2014 the 7-foot-1 rookie\u2019s eighth double-double this season \u2014 for Sacramento. Russell Westbrook<\/a> added 17 points, Devin Carter<\/a> scored 12 and Nique Clifford<\/a> 10. <\/p>\n

Westbrook became the 14th player in league history to score at least 27,000 career points. The 18-year NBA veteran has 27,001 career points, 312 behind Elvin Hayes for 13th place on the league\u2019s career points list. <\/p>\n

DeMar DeRozan<\/a> made a driving layup with 4:08 left in the first quarter that gave the Kings a 20-15 lead, but Bryce McGowen and Murphy made back-to-back 3-pointers to give New Orleans the lead for good and spark a 25-6 run. Williamson scored eight points in the spurt. <\/p>\n

Westbrook made a step-back jumper that trimmed the deficit to nine points with 7:36 left in the first half, but Sacramento got no closer. <\/p>\n

Zach LaVine<\/a> (finger), Keegan Murray<\/a> (ankle), Malik Monk<\/a> (illness) and Domantas Sabonis<\/a> (lower back) did not play for Sacramento. The quartet combines to average 62 points this season. <\/p>\n

The Pelicans snapped a string of 14 consecutive games in which they have not won or lost by more than 10 points. <\/p>\n
