The New Orleans Pelicans were just 12 minutes away from posting a solid victory without the services of Steven Adams, but then the train flew off the tracks. Once the dust settled, the Sacramento Kings sat on the winning side of a 118-109 score.
For seemingly the first time this season, the Pelicans couldn’t get anything going for the entirety of a fourth quarter. They recorded just six field goals. Conversely, De’Aaron Fox had seven makes alone in the final frame.
That’s right, the Kings’ point guard outscored the Pelicans’ team by himself in the fourth quarter by a 17-15 margin, helping power Sacramento past New Orleans to their fourth win in the last five games.
