De’Aaron Fox, DeMar DeRozan help Kings cool off Suns in OT

suns, kings

De’Aaron Fox and DeMar DeRozan each had eight points in overtime to account for all of the Kings’ scoring in the extra period, leading visiting Sacramento past the short-handed Phoenix Suns 127-118 on Sunday.

With Kevin Durant out at least two weeks after suffering a strained calf in Phoenix’s win at Dallas on Friday, the Suns squandered an 11-point lead in the fourth and watched their seven-game winning streak end.

Phoenix’s Bradley Beal opened overtime with a layup, but DeRozan reeled off eight straight points to give the Kings a 119-113 lead with 3:06 left. Beal answered with a four-point play with 2:06 left to trim the Suns’ deficit to 121-118.

Fox answered with three consecutive jumpers to help Sacramento win for the third time in its past four games.

All five Kings starters scored in double figures. DeRozan had a season-best 34 points, Fox finished with 21 and 11 rebounds, Domantas Sabonis had 20 points and 12 rebounds, Kevin Huerter chipped in 17 points and Keegan Murray added 14 points and 14 rebounds.

Beal had a team-high 28 points, Devin Booker finished with 23 points and 12 assists and Tyus Jones a season-high 22 for the Suns, who had won each of their past six games by six or fewer points.

The Kings shot 46.3 percent in the first half and took a 60-53 lead into the break. Huerter had 14 points and Sabonis added 12. Booker and Jones each scored 11 and Beal added 10 for the Suns, who shot 10 of 31 from beyond the arc in the first half.

Phoenix held Sacramento to 30.4 percent shooting in the third and led by as many as 11 points in the quarter. The Suns knocked down 4 of 8 shots from 3-point range in the third and took an 82-79 lead into the fourth.
