Fox finished with 23 points, eight assists and five rebounds, and buried all four free-throw attempts in clutch situations.Buddy Hield finished with 17 points, going just 4 of 13 from the floor, but he was clutch late with a 3-pointer from the wing with 1:07 to go to retake the lead for the Kings, 119-116. He later hit both free-throw attempts for the Kings&#x27; final points to extend to a four-point margin.The Mavs got another stellar game from rookie sensation Luka Doncic, who led Dallas with 28 points and his seventh triple-double of the season that included 12 assists and 12 boards. His night could have been devastating if not for missing all nine of his 3-point attempts.Dwight Powell scored 21 points on 6 of 7 shooting, many coming at the rim off Doncic dishes.Kings forward Harrison Barnes made his return to Dallas since being traded to Sacramento at the trade deadline. He had 18 points on 7 of 16 shooting. Willie Cauley-Stein had 16 points and seven rebounds, and Marvin Bagley III and Bogdan Bogdanovic each contributed 14 points.Dallas took a 110-102 lead with 4:47 to go after there had been eight ties and 12 lead changes after three quarters. But just two minutes later, Fox&#x27;s free throws tied the game at 112-112.<div>For more sports coverage, visit the <a href="http://sports.abs-cbn.com/">ABS-CBN Sports website</a>.</div>
