Davion Mitchell, Kevin Huerter lead Kings over Hornets

Field Level Media

Davion Mitchell came off the bench in place of an injured De'Aaron Fox and scored 23 points, including five straight over a critical stretch in the final 1:26, to lead the Sacramento Kings past the host Charlotte Hornets 115-108 on Monday.

Fox, Sacramento's leading scorer through the first five games of the season, went to the locker room midway through the second quarter following a collision while attempting to draw a charge.

Mitchell was excellent in relief, making 9 of 11 shots from the floor and 5 of 6 from 3-point range. The last of his successful 3-point attempts broke a 108-108 tie with 1:26 remaining.
