Jordi Fernandez couldn’t have dreamed of a better evening for his return to Sacramento, this time on the opposing bench. The Nets had an almost perfect first half, closing 57-65 at halftime with De’Aaron Fox and then Keon Ellis, from distance, to limit the damage. Domantas Sabinis and Keegan Murray took control of the game to tie the game (82-82), and Noah Clowney held the two at 88 after three quarters. But Cam Johnson and Jalen Wilson scored three consecutive 3-point shots and Brooklyn created a fatal 15-4 run (105-98) which the Kings (15 points in the last 12 minutes) were unable to counter.
Sacramento – Brooklyn 103-108. Boxscore: 31 Fox, 21 Murray, 18 DeRozan, 13p+18r Sabonis, 11 Huerter per i Kings; 34 Thomas, 18 Clowney, 16 Johnson, 10 Milton per i Nets, privi di Schroder.
