Sacramento: The Sixers were on the brink of a five-game winning streak, but everything fell apart on Wednesday night. They lost to the Kings 113-107 after allowing a shocking 15-0 run at the end of the game.
De’Aaron Fox was on fire, scoring 35 points, while Domantas Sabonis added 17 points and 21 rebounds. The Kings improved to 15-19 with this win.
Paul George had a solid game with 30 points, and Tyrese Maxey contributed 27 points. Both players were crucial in getting the Sixers close to victory, but they struggled when it mattered most.
It was a tough night for the Sixers, especially with four players sidelined. Kelly Oubre Jr. missed the game due to a hand sprain, and Joel Embiid, KJ Martin, and Jared McCain were also out.
Meanwhile, the Kings were missing Keegan Murray and rookie Devin Carter. It was a game that could have gone either way, but the Sixers just couldn’t hold on.
In the first half, George looked great, scoring early and often. He hit some impressive shots and seemed to be finding his rhythm. But as the game went on, things took a turn.
Drummond and Gordon returned to the lineup, which was a boost for the team. They both played well, but it wasn’t enough to secure the win.
Maxey had a strong third quarter, but the Kings kept pushing back. Fox was relentless, and the Sixers struggled to respond to Sacramento’s defensive pressure in the final minutes.
In the end, the Sixers made too many mistakes. George and Maxey both turned the ball over at critical moments, and it cost them dearly. It’s a tough loss, especially after such a promising start to the season.
