In the second-highest scoring game in NBA history, De’Aaron Fox left his mark. The All-Star Sacramento Kings guard was feeling it from all angles against the LA Clippers — Fox slashed his way to the rim for his own close-range buckets while also dropping off a heads-up assist to rookie Keegan Murray. Fox pulled the trigger from downtown on a step-back 3-pointer and also took flight to throw down an alley-oop off a lob from college teammate Malik Monk, showing there was no shot near or far that he couldn’t make. The sixth-year pro showcased his full arsenal, from grinding his way to a steal on defense to whipping a crosscourt pass to Kevin Huerter for a corner triple. In a truly marathon performance, Fox saved his best for last by scoring the go-ahead pull-up jumper in the final minute of double overtime. All told, Fox shot 17 for 27 from the field for 42 points while also mixing in five rebounds, 12 assists and five steals in the 176-175 Kings victory on February 24, 2023, becoming just the 12th player since the 1973-74 season to have 40 points, 10 assists and five steals in a game. · Feb 25, 2023
