De'Aaron Fox Scores 60 in Kings Loss

De'Aaron Fox made history by scoring 60 points in a losing effort against the Minnesota Timberwolves, setting the Sacramento Kings franchise record and marking the NBA's first 60-point game of the season. Fox's performance included a remarkable 75.3% shooting accuracy, with 39 of his points scored after halftime, but he expressed a preference for a team victory over personal accolades. The Kings, who were missing key players DeMar DeRozan and Malik Monk, managed to rally from a 20-point deficit but ultimately fell 130-126 in overtime. This performance surpasses the previous franchise record of 59 points set by Jack Twyman in 1960. Sacramento's coach praised Fox as an All-Star who carried the team, while the Kings aim for a sixth consecutive win over the Utah Jazz in their next matchup. Meanwhile, the Jazz are coming off a recent victory, showcasing resilience in their gameplay despite challenges.
