After back-and-forth affair that featured multiple lead changes in the closing moments, the Kings came away victorious over the visiting Brooklyn Nets in overtime, 116-111.
The Nets took a late 100-98 lead in the closing seconds of the fourth quarter before De’Aaron Fox drove baseline and connected on a floater as time expired in regulation to send the game to overtime.
“That’s what he does – that’s his floater,” said Kings head coach Dave Joerger. “He got to his move, a shot he’s comfortable with, and he knocked it down. He’s quick, fast and very skilled.”
In the extra session, Fox, along with Bogdan Bogdanovic and Buddy Hield, steered the offense to clutch bucket after clutch bucket and Sactown would pull away to seal the deal.
