Last night, De’Aaron Fox left the United Center with an air conditioning installer’s salary. A mid-month bonus that the Kings leader did not steal: gargantuan game sheet left in Chicago, the winning shot deposited like a wafer of butter in the grandmother’s shopping cart. Sac Town has no limits. Debrief.
The pretty homemade boxscore is HERE!
A first half underwater, lost 58-48, left to the Zach LaVine – DeMar DeRozan duo. A second in weightlessness, concluded by a new clutch shot from De’Aaron Fox, as if the point guard needed it to establish his status as the most decisive player in the NBA. The mind of this guy – like that of the Kings – is cut to any test. However, Sacramento almost got taken for a donkey: +4 to 15 seconds from end, Bulls possession, 3-point shot from DeMar DeRozan, it’s filoche… with the fault! Harrison Barnes’ defense looked good though. Mike Brown invokes his challenge. The referees spin to consult the video. Rocambadaboum general, the fault is confirmed and DeRozan converts his free throw. If it is necessary to recognize a specific characteristic of American sport, it is its show culture. Not « too much » to mean it huh. When the foul is so slight – and the defender absolutely does not fit into the striker’s movement – this type of decision continues to fuel the construction of the stereotype around the NBA. And next weekend, you’ll have uncle who will exclaim at the end of the table: “ Ah bah the NBA is a show huh! The guys they’re all on steroids. So that makes scores not possible”.
4 points behind?

Having become a cult personality, De’Aaron Fox repairs errors and restores truths. A service to 32 units at 12/17 shooting including 4/6 at 3-pointersconcluded in the most beautiful way with this game winner on the head of Ayo Dosunmu. We must recognize Domantas Sabonis for not having left his leader alone to face his responsibilities. With 14 points, 17 rebounds and 10 assists, the Lithuanian landed his eleventh triple-double of the season in the den of the bull. Just enough to make up for the skill deficits of Keegan Murray (2/7 shooting) and Harrison Barnes (3/10) whose returns could have failed in Sacramento. Where the Kings were “lucky” was that Chicago didn’t show better sunshine: Zach LaVine at 7/22 shooting, Pat Beverley at 1/7, Ayo Dosunmu at 1/5 and Niko Vucevic who converts anything on seven attempts from distance. As the best juggler in a circus troupe, DeMar DeRozan saves the honor with 33 points at 10/20 shooting and 9/11 throwing. Michael Jordan was playing in white tonight. Lack of luck, the future winner of the « Jerry West Trophy » was playing gray.

Fourth victory in five games for Sac Town, the defeat against the Bucks is already behind Mike Brown’s group. Special mention to plus/minus of Kevin Huerter in this victory which displays… +26. It is supported by this kind of soldier that De’Aaron fox and Domantas Sabonis will surprise the installed ideas.
