wtf
So many tough shots made by both teams
Its crazy sacramento kings are so powerful in 2022-23
Wow what a great game! I have not seen a game this great in a long time!! The kings are insane
Wish one team scored 200
What a game. Malik was insane wit at least 45 🤯😳
Congrats Rus… for the losing streak of the clippers since you joined the team… you are really a jinx…
GOTY
All those guys on the Clippers are living of past glory, they're all washed up. Fox 🦊 is and was the best player on the court.
Do anybody believe in two pointers a 2 could have won the game
Too many points
Malik is a cold blooded scorer geez!
This is the game the All-Star Game wanted to be with their score. And this game was still better.
Really impressed with this young Kings team. They are trouble!
malik monk of all people wow
What a JOURNEY
After scrolling through these comments, I can't even blame the players anymore. To every person that said this game was great, wild, had you on the edge of your seat….I blame you. You enable this. All yall care about is the ball going in the hoop. Yall stopped caring about defense A LONG TIME AGO. so congrats to yall for ruining basketball for the real ones out here lol
YES! You all better put some respecT on our name!
🙌 🏀 🤍💜 👑 💜🤍 🏀 🙌
😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
1:51 Leonard traveled 🤣🤣🤣
This score is crazy after a while we will see 200 pt games.
no defense
Fox played great defense on PG
That was one hell of a game! Much respect to both teams!
Nicheols batum ass for that shot 😂😂
Y’all fans got y’all money worth this game. They made history for the fourth time in history. Oh yeah if Plumlee would of pass the ball to Powell for the three. They would of won, but instead turnover.
What a game!
WOW. NBA, Where amazing happens.
Wow
That was one helllllll of a game. Don’t get to see that very often
Monk reminds me of Jamal Crawford in that he can get buckets in so many ways, I would not be surprised to see him within the top 100 all time scorers when it’s all said and done for him
I've been longing for a team to score 160 in a REGULATION game almost got both.
Shouldn’t have even went to overtime they should’ve got a shot clock violation right? 😂
I feel winded just watching the highlights.
Someone needs to slow it down and look for kawhi in late situations my man was one more shot away from winning the game they really need to slow it down and run the play it shows how much more faster this team has gotten with the new additions!
rip defense
This game also set another NBA record – Highest tied score at the end of regulation – 153.
Love that fox and monk got back together
That was just 2 pound for pound heavyweights having a slugfest for 12 rounds.
176 to 175 kings by split decision
@NBA, most of your nationally televised games this year sucks! They feature a bunch of old players playing on teams with sub 500 records and you wonder why your ratings are tanking this year.
Better than the all star game, 🤣
No wonder they can’t make an NBA finals
The Kings are dangerous no matter the situation they made that clear 8n this game. Full gas, no brakes.
