Here are three takeaways from the Kings’ 108-89 win over the Chicago Bulls on Monday night at United Center:
Fox catches fire
The Kings trailed by 13 early in the third quarter following a frustrating first half in which De’Aaron Fox and Buddy Hield combined for five points on 1-of-12 shooting. That’s when Fox and Hield caught fire.
The scoring barrage started quietly enough with two free throws from Fox. He followed that trip to the line with an emphatic transition dunk, a 3-pointer from the right wing, another 3 from the top of the arc and then a lightning-quick crossover that resulted in an uncontested floater in the lane.
