With the Sacramento Kings taking on the Golden State Warriors in the NBA play-in tournament Tuesday, De’Aaron Fox chose a right time to show off his hops.
Early in the first quarter, after Harrison Barnes‘ layup bounced off the rim, Fox skied toward the basket for a putback slam past Draymond Green and Klay Thompson. The dunk put the Kings up three with just over eight minutes remaining. Fox had eight points in the opening 12 minutes.
