» Fox ranks first in the league in fourth-quarter scoring, totaling 306 points. He had 20 in the final frame of Sacramento’s 100-98 victory over Cleveland on Saturday, which Barnes won with a 3-point heave at the buzzer.

» Sacramento suffered a nine-game losing streak in February. Since then, the Kings have won nine of 14, including six of their past seven.
