Fox entered the final quarter with just 10 points and the Kings down by two points. At the end of overtime, however, Fox decided with sixes. With 41 seconds left, Sacramento led by four points, Irving responded with a 3-pointer, but Fox converted both free throws. On the other side, Dončič missed and Fox hit both sixes again.

“I'm not getting distracted by going back to where I played. to win the game. We did a good job,” Harden said. The Nets almost forced overtime, but Spencer Dinwiddie's 3-pointer didn't come until time expired.

The Lakers started again without the best scorer in NBA history, LeBron James, who missed the second game due to leg problems after breaking the record. D'Angelo Russell had a winning debut in the jersey of the Los Angeles club and contributed 15 points to a 109:103 win in the Golden State hall.
