Kings heated as late foul call in tie game propels Lakers to win

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- The Los Angeles Lakers extended their winning streak to a season-best five games with a 136-134 victory over the Kings on Saturday, but not without some controversy.

Sacramento guard De'Aaron Fox was called for a foul on the Lakers' Dennis Schroder with 3.1 seconds remaining, with the score tied at 134-134. The foul was on the floor, with Fox hitting Schroder in the hip with his thigh as the L.A. point guard attempted to drive to the hoop. Since Sacramento was already in the penalty, the foul meant two free throws for the Lakers.
