De’Aaron Fox saved eight of his 14 points for a game-ending flurry, DeMar DeRozan scored 32 points and the Sacramento Kings overcame an big deficit to beat the visiting Golden State Warriors 123-117 in the NBA on Wednesday night.

Seeking to rebound from a 40-point home loss to Boston on Monday, the Warriors used a 41-point second quarter to build as much as an 18-point lead. Golden State was still up 113-109 after an Andrew Wiggins 3-pointer before Sacramento dominated the final 4:03.
