De'Aaron Fox Drills Game-Winning Jumper v. PHI
Did Sacramento get a glimpse of the future last night?
In their 109-108 victory over PHI, SAC's young guns led the charge - they helped spark a 7-0 run during the final stretch.
Justin Jackson (19 pts off the bench), Willie-Cauley Stein (15, 4 & 2 blocks - late blk on J. Embiid!) & De'Aaron Fox (Future Top DOG of the Night: 11, 7 dimes, GW jumper) were all catalysts to both keep SAC in the game & later close it out.
De'Aaron Fox was money - he made a couple key plays in the final minute (& change):
• transition finish, +1 (missed FT)
• found G. Temple for escape triple
• "won" 50/50 ball v. D. Saric
• drilled go-ahead, pull-up J for game.
Gutsy win for the Kings - stopped PHI's 5-game winning streak, heavily featured their young foundation, could serve as a huge confidence booster.
