De’Aaron Fox delivered another stellar performance, dropping 49 points to lead the Sacramento Kings to a 121-117 victory over the Utah Jazz Sunday (PHL).

Despite missing Domantas Sabonis, DeMar DeRozan, and Malik Monk, Fox carried the Kings to their eighth win of the season, improving to 8-6 in the Western Conference.

 


 

Fox’s scoring outburst followed a career-high 60-point effort in an overtime loss to Minnesota the night before. His 109 points over two consecutive games is the second-most by any NBA player in the past 50 years.

 


 

Lauri Markkanen paced the Jazz with 25 points, but Utah struggled to contain Fox’s offensive explosion.

With the loss, the Jazz dropped to 3-9, remaining at the bottom of the Western Conference standings.
