The San Antonio Spurs' Malaki Branham was enjoying one of his best games before a late turnover changed everything at Sacramento
SAN FRANCISCO — For the first 47 minutes and 50 seconds of Thursday’s game in Sacramento, Spurs guard Malaki Branham was having the night of his NBA life. What a difference the final 10 seconds made. “Now,” Branham said, “I feel terrible.” With the score tied and the shot-clock off, Branham threw a pass for Zach Collins that was picked off by Sacramento’s Domantas Sabonis, who scrambled the length of the court for the game-winning dunk in a 131-129 Kings victory.
Zach Collins set for another game as Wemby's fill-in Not only did the call send Branham to the free-throw line for a chance at a five-point lead, it banished Fox to the bench permanently with his sixth foul. Branham converted both foul shots to push the Spurs’ lead to 129-124, while Sacramento faced the prospect of pulling off a miracle without Fox, who had scored 17 of his 33 points in the fourth quarter. “We had the win in our hands for sure,” point guard Tre Jones said.
