When the Sacramento Kings played the Dallas Mavericks earlier this month, it was De’Aaron Fox that helped them survive Luka Doncic’s fourth quarter explosion. Fox wasn’t available for their second meeting on Monday, but they still managed to come out on top 111-106 because of their hot start.
The Kings outscored the Mavericks 31-17 in the first quarter and led by 18 points during that run. The only other quarter the Mavericks lost was the fourth quarter and it was by just five points. It’s safe to assume Luke Walton was happy with the way his team came out of the locker room.
