ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — De'Aaron Fox beat the buzzer from just inside halfcourt to give the Sacramento Kings a 126-123 overtime victory over the Orlando Magic on Saturday night after the Kings wiped out a 20-point deficit in the third quarter.
Fox's 37 points included the first six in overtime. The Kings needed three more at the end after throwing away a pass in the backcourt with 6.6 seconds left, allowing the Magic's Chuma Okeke to tie the game with a dunk.
Fox then dribbled the ball up and launched his shot with his feet inside the Magic logo at center court, a shot that was officially listed at 31 feet.
Paolo Banchero led Orlando with 33 points and 15 rebounds. Franz Wagner added 31 points and six assists, and Bol Bol finished with 23 points and seven rebounds.
Domantas Sabonis had 25 points and 11 rebounds for the Kings.
With Fox scoring 13 points in the period, the Kings wiped out a 20-point deficit in third quarter.
After Banchero's baseline jumper put Orlando up by 20 early in the quarter, the Kings outscored the Magic 36-10 the rest of the period and took an 83-77 lead into the fourth.
Sacramento led 92-82 after Malik Monk's 3-pointer early in the fourth before going scoreless for more than four minutes.
The Magic shot 54.3% for the game, but only 4 of 23 on 3-pointers.
