The NBA Cup encounter between the Clippers and Sacramento Kings heightened both teams' awareness, as both needed a win after losing their first Cup games.
Clippers coach Tyronn Lue emphasized, 'All games are meaningful for us... Playing for the Cup and having a chance to go to Vegas for big money is always intriguing.'
The Clippers' defensive effort was notable, holding the Kings to just 12 points and 19% shooting in the first quarter and limiting their field goal percentage to 38.6%.
De'Aaron Fox struggled initially for the Kings, making his first shot on his sixth attempt, ultimately scoring 29 points but failing to lead his team to victory.
