In a nail-biting NBA game between the Magic and Kings, Malik Monk showcased his skills by scoring a quick 7 points off the bench, setting a new personal record with five 3-pointers in a quarter, and totaling 33 points for the night. Despite accounting for 4 of the Kings' 5 turnovers and playing only 5 minutes in the first half, Monk returned to the game to score 12 points, including 4 triples, and was 5-6 from deep. His performance helped the Kings to a 37-36 lead and eventually a 124-123 advantage in overtime. Orlando Magic's Paolo Banchero matched the intensity, scoring 41 points, including tying his career high with 6 three-pointers, and leading his team to tie the franchise record with 23 threes. Banchero's 18 consecutive points sent the game to double overtime, with the Kings narrowly leading 126-125 after a 'Sabonis hammer' with 17.7 seconds left in OT.

And it’s going there in part because of what looked like pretty clearly the wrong call on Paolo losing the ball out of bounds late in OT. But another five minutes of free hoops it is! https://t.co/y1LxxQWnrZ
