De'Aaron Fox Sets Kings Franchise Scoring Record

De'Aaron Fox made history by scoring 60 points in a game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, setting a Sacramento Kings franchise record and becoming the first player this season to reach that milestone. Despite his record-setting performance, the Kings lost 130-126 in overtime after overcoming a 20-point deficit to force extra time. Fox's scoring included 26 points in the final 17 minutes, showcasing his clutch ability, but the team's efforts fell short against Minnesota, led by Anthony Edwards' 36 points. The following night, Fox continued his scoring prowess with 49 points in a 121-117 victory over the Utah Jazz, marking a remarkable two-game total of 109 points, the highest in franchise history. Kevin Huerter and Trey Lyles supported Fox's efforts with 18 and 17 points respectively, while the Kings managed to overcome a third-quarter deficit to secure the win. The Kings' next game is against the Atlanta Hawks, while the Jazz continue their road trip against the Los Angeles Clippers.
