Willie Cauley-Stein double-doubles off Kings' bench Friday

Sacramento Kings center Willie Cauley-Stein thrived in his role off the bench during an 86-82 win over the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday, scoring a season-high 22 points with 10 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 block in 31 minutes.

What It Means:

It was Cauley-Stein's first time coming off the bench all season, and the Kings may have found something with the move. It was the team's best defensive effort of the season, but it remains to be seen if Sacramento's rotations will allow for more games like this from Cauley-Stein in the near future.
