    A confident De'Aaron Fox stepped the foul line for two shots with 2.4 seconds left and his team trailing by one.

    After making his first eight free throws of the game, Fox said he was thinking "I'm going to make these two and we're going to get out of here" with a win.

    Then the unthinkable happened.

    A 74.1% free-throw shooter coming into the game, Fox sent the first shot off the back rim, the crowd screaming and waving trying to distract him. They got louder on the next try, and Fox tried to overcompensate for the first miss by taking something off his second shot. The ball bounced off the front rim.

    Marvin Bagley III tried for a tip-in, but it didn't fall, and the Charlotte Hornets escaped with a wild 124-123 win over Sacramento on Friday night, snapping the Kings' three-game win streak.
