Malik Monk Scores Career-High 45 Points In Friday's Shootout
2 years agoSacramento Kings shooting guard Malik Monk turned into prime Michael Jordan against the Clippers Friday night, leading all scorers with a career-high 45 points in a 176-175 double-overtime win. He logged 41 minutes off the bench and shot 15-for-24 from the field and 9-for-10 at the foul line with a 6-for-12 effort from three-point land. Monk's once-in-a-lifetime night also included two rebounds and six assists. The 25-year-old has been a very good piece off the bench for the Kings, but even he might have pinched himself during the game to check if this wasn't a dream. The massive performance now puts Monk's scoring average for the month at 19.4 points. He has also tallied 3.0 rebounds and 3.8 assists in February.
