Julian Khazzouh was inspirational for the Kings, finishing with 26 points and 13 rebounds as Sydney set up their victory at Adelaide Arena with a devastating 29-8 second term.
The Kings, filled with renewed confidence, slammed the door shut with 14 consecutive points in the final quarter to consign the home side to a third loss from as many outings.
In Friday night's other game, a crushing first half performance lifted the Gold Coast Blaze to their first win of the season, an 83-58 blowout over the Hawks in Wollongong.
