ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) —

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -- John Salmons had 21 points to lead six players in double-figures and the hot-shooting Sacramento Kings cruised to a 125-101 victory over the Orlando Magic on Wednesday night.

The Kings were coming off a double -overtime loss to Miami on Tuesday, but showed few signs of a hangover, knocking down 10 3-pointers. Reserve Marcus Thornton added 20 points.

The win ends a six-game losing streak and snaps a string of nine consecutive road losses. It also marks the Kings' first season sweep of the Magic in nine years.

Tobias Harris led the Magic with 23 points, followed by Arron Afflalo with 15.

Orlando has lost 29 of its last 33 games and hasn't won back-to-back games since mid-December.

The Magic resume their three-game home stand Friday against Houston.
