Kings' De'Aaron Fox: Explodes for career-high 44 points

Fox produced 44 points (16-22 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 9-10 FT), seven assists, three steals and two rebounds across 36 minutes in Thursday's 141-119 win over the Warriors.

Although the Kings no longer needed Fox's services in the fourth quarter, it was evident that coach Luke Walton was pushing Fox to reach his career-high. Fox continues to mature as a team leader, and a shot of confidence like Thursday's win is a great benefit. Fox's production has experienced a lot of fluctuation this season, but he's come around recently, averaging 30.6 points, 6.3 assists, 3.9 rebounds and 1.9 steals over the past nine games.
