The Kings rallied to outlast the Clippers 176-175 in a wild double-overtime thriller that marked the second-highest scoring game in NBA history.
It is only the second time in the NBA's 76-year history that both teams scored at least 170 points in a game. Detroit beat Denver 186-184 in triple overtime on Dec. 13, 1983, in what remains the highest-scoring NBA game.
The Kings' 176 points are also the most ever scored by a team in the second game of a back-to-back, according to ESPN Stats"From a fan's standpoint, I can see how this game would have been a lot of fun to watch," Brown said. "There was unbelievable shot making and great defense. There was high-level talent that was on display. Kudos to the players."
The Kings also overcame a 14-points deficit late in the fourth quarter and six-point deficits in both overtime periods.
