Dennis Schroder is not afraid of the moment.

Schroder made key plays happen as the Sacramento Kings escaped the Houston Rockets in a wild 125-125 overtime win on Monday (PH time) a the Golden 1 Center.

Down two, Schroder drilled the game-winning three with 2.2 seconds left.

 

 

It completed a Kings rally as Sacramento got off to a fast start, but spent most of the game trailing as Houston led by as many as 14 points.

Earlier, it was also Schroder who pushed the pace and assisted Russell Westbrook for the booming three in regulation that forced OT.

Schroder finished with 24 points, nine in overtime, to go along with seven rebounds and 10 assists as the Kings got a rare win for a 7-22 record.

Demar DeRozan led Sacramento with 27 points, while Keegan Murray added 26.

Alperen Sengun led the Rockets with 28 points, but Houston dropped to 6th in the West with a 17-9 mark.
