"Honestly, I didn't even know how much I scored," Gay said. "It was more about getting the win."

It was going so well for Gay that he casually walked the ball up the court with an eye on the clock late in the third quarter, and then drilled a pull-up jumper from 27 feet.

"He put on a show tonight, coming off a game in Oklahoma City where he didn't play very well and got thrown out," Kings coach Michael Malone said. "He wanted to bounce back and show everybody what he is capable of."

In a loss two nights earlier to the Thunder, Gay scored only six points before being sent off the court with two technical fouls in the fourth quarter. But Gay hit 16 of 25 shots in the Big Easy, including 5 of 8 from 3-point range, to match a point total he last put up on Dec. 13, 2009, in Miami.
