De'Aaron Fox wasn't having it with a reporter's lackluster question after the Sacramento Kings suffered yet another loss, this time at the hands of the Boston Celtics. Fox did his best to answer with grace, but couldn't help himself but mutter âdumba** questionâ at the end of his response.
Reporter: âAt this point, obviously every game matters and to make the playoffs it gets harder and harder. Is it somewhat deflating knowing that all these games are must-win games at this point or do you take a different approach?
Fox: âWhat other approach could you take? You wanna win all the games that you can.â

The Kings are mired in a difficult position in the race for the last playoff spot, having lost seven of their last 10 games since the All-Star break.
Sacramento has now dropped below the .500 mark for the first time since Jan. 5 after a loss to the Golden State Warriors â a sign that doesn't bode well for them, as they currently trail the eighth-place L.A. Clippers by a whopping five games with only 15 games left in their season.
The task looks quite tall for De'Aaron Fox and company, who have made a surprising effort to wind up challenging for a playoff spot â but playing eight of their next 15 games on the road, including a five-game road trip to finish March, and two games against the streaking Houston Rockets at the stretch end of their season just looks like too much to overcome for a young and inexperience team.
Fox, who has made a huge leap from his rookie season, will have no option but to grind every game possible, hoping lady luck gives them a glimmer of hope through the last month of regular season action.
