Kings set new team record for 3-pointers made in 131-118 win over Nets
SACRAMENTO — The Sacramento Kings set a new franchise record for three-pointers made in Monday night's 131-118 win over the Brooklyn Nets at the Golden 1 Center.
Sacramento made 25 shots from beyond the arc. The previous team record was 23 triples made and it was set last season, on January 9, 2023, against the Orlando Magic.
Against Brooklyn, De'Aaron Fox scored 29 points and had 8 assists, while Keegan Murray scored 24 and Malik Monk added 21 and 9 assists.
Domantas Sabonis added 15 points, 16 rebounds and nine assists for the Kings, who have won three straight against the Nets including a season sweep last year.
It was the second time this season that the Kings had three players with seven assists or more.
Fox and Trey Lyles led the sharp shooting from beyond the arc with five 3s apiece.
Mikal Bridges led the Nets with 22 points, five assists and five rebounds. Brooklyn was one of the hottest teams in the East going into the night with six wins in its previous seven games.
The Kings led comfortably most of the way before the Nets pulled to 110-104 with six minutes left. Harrison Barnes responded with his third 3-pointer of the game and Sacramento pulled away.
Coming off a 23-point fourth quarter against the Suns last Friday, Fox gave the Kings a quick spark with a corner 3 in the first quarter. The ball bounced off the rim multiple times before falling in as Fox hopped up and down with each bounce.
Sacramento limited Brooklyn to 18 points in the first quarter and led 26-18.
After trailing by double digits early in the second, the Nets got within 71-67 on Cameron Thomas' 3-pointer midway through the third.
Sacramento took control after that and led 89-74 following Monk's thunderous one-handed dunk and Murray's 3-pointer. Monk later fed Lyles with a lob pass that Lyles dunked to make it 107-90.
