Final Thoughts
Although the Kings lost the game, there were some positives to take away from the contest.
Rookies De’Aaron Fox and Justin Jackson had nice nights as Fox recorded 26 points (new career-high in points) as he shot 6-6 from the perimeter while Jackson had himself 14 points and five rebounds.
Vince Carter also showed that even at 41-years of age he can still contribute as he scored 21 points and grabbed six rebounds for the game while shooting 5-7 from the three-point line.
Overall, the Kings had a solid performance, but they needed to have close to a perfect game in order to complete the upset. Sacramento will have the chance tomorrow to get back to their winning ways as they will face off against the New Orleans Pelicans in the Big Easy.
