The Kings started the week with a resounding 131-118 victory over a quality Brooklyn Nets squad. Mikal Bridges led the Nets with 22 points. Cam Thomas added 20 for Brooklyn, but the Nets ran into a 3-point shooting buzz saw.

De’Aaron Fox knocked down 5-for-10 from long range on his way to a 29-point, 8-assist performance. Keegan Murray was a perfect 4-for-4 from deep, finishing with 24 points. Malik Monk chipped in a 21-point, 9-assist game off the bench and Domantas Sabonis bullied his way through the Nets’ front line for 15 points, 16 rebounds and nine assists.

The story of this game came down to the 3-point shot. Brooklyn came into the night leading the league in 3-point percentage, but it was the Kings who hit 25-of-45 from deep and outscored their guests 75-42 from behind the arc.
