SACRAMENTO, Calif.—Chimezie Metu made a corner 3-pointer at the buzzer to give the Sacramento Kings a 95–94 victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday night in the opener of a two-game set between the teams.
Dallas led 94–92 with 33.2 seconds remaining after Jalen Brunson’s short jumper and two free throws from Kristaps Porzingis. After Harrison Barnes missed a layup for Sacramento, and the Mavericks were called for a 24-second violation, Kings point guard De’Aaron Fox drove down the lane and passed to Metu in the right corner in front of the Mavericks’ bench.
