On the second night of a rare home back-to-back, the Kings saw some clutch performances from the team's young core. With 5.3 seconds remaining, the score was tied 99-99. In a play "designed for [Bogdan Bogdanovic] or De'Aaron Fox," Skal Labissiere took the inbounds pass and decided to make a play.
The second-year forward rose up for a last-second three-pointer as the clock ticked to zero, drilling his first game-winning basket in the NBA.

"Sitting out gave me a chance to evaluate myself," said Skal following the thriller.
