Even teammate Domantas Sabonis, in his post-game interview, stated, “Coach wanted us to be aggressive, but it all started with Fox. You know, it was a Fox show tonight… Offense, defense, he did everything. He basically won us the game.”

The Kings displayed impressive control throughout the game, pulling away with a 10-0 run to open the third quarter. Harrison Barnes further extended their lead with a timely three-pointer, pushing the advantage to 18 points.
While Fox stole the spotlight, his teammates made crucial contributions to the victory. Domantas Sabonis, the NBA’s leading triple-double king, provided a near triple-double himself with 17 points, 15 rebounds, and 12 assists. Harrison Barnes added a significant 22 points, and Kevin Huerter chipped in with 15 points. Notably, this win marks Sabonis’ 20th triple-double of the season.
De’Aaron Fox, drafted by the Kings 5th overall in the 2017 NBA draft, has consistently delivered remarkable performances. Earlier this season, he dropped a season-high 43 points, 8 rebounds, and 7 assists against the San Antonio Spurs. Despite his height of 6’3″, Fox boasts an impressive wingspan of nearly 6’7″, making him a difficult match-up at the rim.
