The Kings duo looked like all stars tonight as Sabonis and Fox dominated in the Kings victory against the Clippers.
Sabonis finished with 17 points, 15 rebounds and 12 assists recording his NBA-leading 20th triple-double. Fox added seven assists and three steals.
Norman Powell led Los Angeles with 21 points in his first start of the season in place of Paul George, who sat out with a sore left knee. Kawhi Leonard added 20 points along with James Harden.
Since their return from the All Star break the Clippers are 1-2 with their only win being a close victory over the Memphis Grizzles.
“I feel like we’re competing, but we’re just like a step behind. Hopefully we get a rhythm,” Leonard said. “We’re a little flat right now, but we got time to pick it up.”
The Clippers trailed by as much as 18 points in the second half. Los Angeles made runs in the fourth quarter but could never regain the lead from earlier in the game.
“When you’re playing from behind like that, it’s tough,” Clippers coach Tyronn Lue said. “One mistake, one wrong play and the lead goes back up. You can’t get that far down, especially against a good team.”
The Clippers will look to get back to their winning ways when they face-off with the Lakers on Wednesday night.
