De’Aaron Fox produced one of the most brilliant performances of his career, but a difficult road trip ended in bitter defeat for the Kings on Saturday afternoon in Dallas.
Fox tied his career high with 44 points, but that wasn’t enough as the Dallas Mavericks stormed back from a 19-point deficit to beat the Kings, 114-113, at American Airlines Center despite the absence of Luka Doncic.
Dorian Finney-Smith made two clutch 3-pointers in the final 1:14, including one from the corner that put the Mavericks up by three with 3.8 seconds remaining. Justin Holiday scored on a put-back as time expired after Harrison Barnes missed a 3-pointer that would have sent the game to overtime.
