The Sacramento Kings are on a high after taking down the LA Clippers, 124-103. While Kawhi Leonard's absence and Paul George's abysmal performance, there's no doubt that the team's incredible performance from beyond the arc was instrumental for the win.
The Kings made an incredible 21 three-point shots during the game, and they were quick to recognize this as a franchise record.

The leading man who helped the Kings achieve this impressive record is Buddy Hield. He made five of the 23 long-range bombs the Kings unleashed on the Clippers. His accuracy wasn't bad as well as he finished with a 45.5% shooting clip from distance.

The next biggest contributor was Corey Joseph. The Kings' backup point guard shot four-of-nine from distance, netting a total of 16 points from the bench. His scoring was important in helping the team get over the Clippers.
De'Aaron Fox was the key man for the W. His all-around effort was nothing short of incredible. His 34 points, three rebounds, and eight assists were vital in running the offense. Moreover, his four steals and two blocks didn't allow the Clippers to have any semblance of control in the game.
On the other side, George was simply terrible on the court tonight. He only had limited minutes, and his shot efficiency wasn't good. Kawhi Leonard's absence from the lineup was also a noteworthy reason for the loss after being scrapped late for a back injury. Only Lou Williams and Montrezl Harrell — who scored 22 and 21 points respectively — were the standout performers for the Clippers during the game.
Kings head coach Luke Walton will hope that more of these sharpshooting sprees will happen through the remainder of the season.
