Even after a busy trade deadline, the Sacramento Kings came prepared to play on Thursday and handily beat the Golden State Warriors 141-119 behind a career-high night from their star point guard De’Aaron Fox.
In 35:40 against the Warriors, Fox scored a career-high 44 points — 25 of which came in the first half — on an efficient 16-22 shooting from the field. Fox’s previous career-high was 43 points and he set it against the New Orleans Pelicans on Jan. 7. The difference between this Fox’s last career-high performance and the one on Thursday night?
