Sacramento Kings reserve wing Justin Jackson came into Saturday night’s game against the Golden State Warriors having scored just 25 points in his previous five games combined.
He topped that number in less than 40 minutes at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, California in front of a sold out crowd hungry to see the defending champions fall. And despite coming out on the losing end, the pro-Kings crowd got every penny of their money’s worth in a game that saw 250 total points scored and an NBA record 41 made three-pointers between the two teams.
The Kings, led by Jackson and former first round draft pick Buddy Hield, put on their best offensive performance of the season in the thrilling 127-123 prime time loss.
