As De’Aaron Fox sat out six games recently with a thigh injury, he paid close attention to the Kings’ offense and made a decision.
He would play more aggressively and do his best to increase the team’s tempo, something he said he should have done from the start.
Fox and the Kings are finding out that’s easier said than done, as their latest attempt ended in a 99-86 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers at Staples Center on Tuesday night.
Coach Dave Joerger said before the game that he’s been emphasizing a faster tempo and that he’d like to play at the pace the Los Angeles Lakers have made routine.
