The Sacramento Kings took down the Indiana Pacers 127-122 on Monday night, and De’Aaron Fox put the game away in emphatic fashion.
With Sacramento leading 121-117 and just over 30 seconds remaining, Fox went right through the Indiana defense and threw down a thunderous dunk on Malcolm Brogdon.
It was an awesome dunk that was made even better by a hilarious reaction from Sacramento announcers Mark Jones and Doug Christie of NBC Sports California.

A few weeks ago, Doug Christie dropped a “Zero Fox are given!” line after De’Aaron Fox had a ridiculous block. https://t.co/vwA6oh6yLK

That’s also an unfortunate way to end the night for Brogdon, who scored 24 points and had nine assists for Indiana.
Fox had 21 points, nine assists, and five rebounds in the victory. The fourth-year point guard is a prime candidate to make the leap into superstardom this season.
