Slumping Kings get by Pacers
Buddy Hield made a 3pointer moments after Indiana’s Domantas Sabonis had a basket taken away following a replay review, and the Kings beat Indiana 127122 in Sacramento on Monday night.
Hield finished with 18 points as the Kings won for the second time in seven games. De’Aaron Fox added 21 points and nine assists.
The Kings held a onepoint lead when Sabonis went up underneath the basket and was credited with a bucket when Richaun Holmes was called for goaltending with 1: 25 remaining. After a lengthy review, the call was overturned.
Hield then hit a 3 and Fox soared for a onehanded dunk.
