It started against the Philadelphia 76ers. Sacramento Kings rookie point guard De’Aaron Fox received the inbound, sized up Robert Covington, and drilled a mid-range jumper over Covington’s outstretched arm.
Then it happened again in Miami. Down by one with seconds remaining, Fox flew in out of nowhere to slam home a put back dunk against the Miami Heat. It was a stunning display of timing and leaping ability.
And now we have a third example of Fox coming up big in the clutch.
