The star point guard put together a second virtuoso scoring performance in 24 hours, finishing with 49 while the Kings staved off the Utah Jazz, 121-117, and came back from a double-digit deficit in the second half Saturday night at Golden 1 Center.

The Sacramento Kings had every reason to roll over after three quarters against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday. They trailed by 16 at the start of the fourth. They were playing without key scorers DeMar DeRozan and Malik Monk.

When De’Aaron Fox saw that he had 48 points in the fourth quarter in a 130-126 overtime loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, teammate Malik Monk told him, “You might as well go get 60.”
