Kings outlast Clippers in second-highest scoring game ever
LOS ANGELES -- There were a couple of moments Friday night when Sacramento coach Mike Brown wishes he could have enjoyed being a part of the second-highest scoring game in NBA history.
Brown and his Kings though were able to savor something that is more important in the long run - a hard-fought victory.
Malik Monk scored a career-high 45 points, De'Aaron Fox had the go-ahead basket and finished with 42 and Sacramento outlasted the LA Clippers 176-175 in double overtime.
It is only the second time in the NBA's 76-year history that both teams scored at least 170 points in a game. Detroit beat Denver 186-184 in triple overtime on Dec. 13, 1983, in what remains the highest-scoring NBA game.
