Defense took the night off. In a crazy shootout, the Kings allowed the Lakers to knock down 61 percent from the field and it cost them. LeBron James and De’Aaron Fox put on a show for a packed house, but it was LA that came away with the 136-134 win. Here are 6 quick thoughts. – 12:45 AM

Dennis Schroder sinks both, De’Aaron Fox halfcourt heave is now good and he’s pissed at the official, looks like from the previous foul call, Mike Brown prevents him from getting to the official and sends him to the locker room. Kings fall to Lakers 136-134 – 12:44 AM

More on this storyline
For Sacramento Kings star De’Aaron Fox and his newlywed wife, Recee, it is truly love and basketball. “After games, I definitely pick and choose what to say to him,” Recee said. “If he has a bad game, a lot of the times my thing is, ‘Did you stay healthy? Are you happy?’ That’s what I care about. Obviously, he’s not going to be happy that he lost, but De’Aaron as a human being first is what I care about. This basketball stuff will be good for 12 years, and then it’s going to be our relationship that we have to focus on after.” Said Fox: “I trust her opinion. She worked in player development in the NBA.” -via Andscape / January 6, 2023
Fox is hoping to lead the resurgent Kings back to the playoffs for the first time in 17 years and become a first-time NBA All-Star this season. Fox’s wife was also an outstanding basketball player in her own right. Formerly Recee Caldwell, she was a former McDonald’s All-American like her husband; played college basketball for UCLA, Texas Tech, and Cal-Berkeley before going to training camp with the WNBA Seattle Storm; and was a player development intern for the Washington Wizards and Golden State Warriors. The Foxes have another basketball player on the way, as they are expecting their first child together in February. -via Andscape / January 6, 2023
“I also have the greatest respect and admiration for what Recee and De’Aaron do off the court,” Kings owner Vivek Ranadive said. “To think back to when I first met him as a 19-year-old kid to where he is now, a 25-year-old married man with a child on the way. It’s pretty remarkable.” Southern Cal women’s basketball coach Lindsay Gottlieb, who coached Recee at Cal, said: “Who knew she would find her husband during that one year with us in Berkeley. I love De’Aaron as well. Great dude. I’m so happy for them.” -via Andscape / January 6, 2023
