    Missing Free Throws And Losing To Damian Lillard’s 32 Foot Game-Winner, Malik Monk Takes Responsibility: “My Fault Sac! I’ll Be Better”
    Missing Free Throws And Losing To Damian Lillard's 32 Foot Game-Winner, Malik Monk Takes Responsibility: "My Fault Sac! I'll Be Better" With 18.4 seconds remaining in the extra period, Malik Monk was sent to the charity stripe to shoot two free throws. The Sacramento Kings were leading 141-137 and even a single shot would make it extremely difficult for the Milwaukee Bucks’ chances of a comeback. Unfortunately, Monk missed both his attempts, resulting in Brook Lopez knocking down a corner three, cutting the Kings’ lead to merely a single point. Later, with 5.2 seconds remaining on the game clock, De’Aaron Fox was sent to the line to shoot a pair of free throws. Fox, who was 5/5 from the line previously in the game, missed the 1st shot and knocked down the second. In classic Damian Lillard style, the sharpshooter emphatically knocked down a 32-foot buzzer-beating three-pointer, resulting in the Bucks’ 143-142 victory. DAME CALLED GAME pic.twitter.com/9nck6tNOAa — Bleacher Report (@BleacherReport) January 15, 2024 It was the Kings’ game to lose. Monk was aware of this fact. Apologizing to franchise fans, the guard pinned the blame on himself, posting the following on X. “My fault Sac!! I’ll be better,” the 25-year-old wrote. My fault Sac!! I’ll be better — Malik Monk (@AhmadMonk) January 15, 2024 Monk acknowledging his fault was too big of him. Yes, the Kings would’ve had a better chance of winning the game even if he had knocked down a single free throw. But to blame Monk for the entire loss is illogical. Instead, the former Kentucky Wildcat had an exceptional performance throughout the contest. Coming off the bench, he hit some clutch shots and ended the night with 28 points, 7 rebounds, and 7 assists. Usually, social media users are very cruel and would be ready to bash any player in Monk’s position. However, it was pleasantly surprising to see the positive reaction from the fans in the comments section of the Kings star’s tweet. Malik Monk missing free throws led to the Bucks grabbing three straight wins Living up to the hype, the contest witnessed 14 lead changes & ties. The Milwaukee Bucks-Sacramento Kings bout was an action-packed thriller. But, the officiating could’ve been much better. Or at least that’s what Mike Brown believes. During the final period, with more than 9 minutes remaining on the game clock, the Kings’ head coach was livid with the referee’s decisions. Having an outburst, Brown couldn’t prevent himself from directing his frustrations at a referee. A bad decision that led him to get ejected from the game. Mike Brown was NOT happy. pic.twitter.com/sxpxGsei5l — Hoop Central (@TheHoopCentral) January 15, 2024 Brown didn’t stop criticizing the referees despite being slapped with the penalty. During the postgame conference, the 53-year-old used his laptop and went on a nearly five-minute rant about the controversial foul calls. Mike Brown lights into the refereeing tonight in the Kings loss in Milwaukee. Brings out a laptop in his press conference to show film of the non-foul and foul that has him ticked off. Here is the five minute soundbite. pic.twitter.com/Q8InpkFh8B — Anthony Slater (@anthonyVslater) January 15, 2024 Suffering yet another loss, the California side is on a two-game losing skid. Whereas, the Bucks have been on an incredible roll. After beginning their four-game homestand with an unexpected loss against the Utah Jazz, Adrian Griffin’s boys have managed to grab three straight wins, defeating the Boston Celtics, the Golden State Warriors, and the Sacramento Kings. The Bucks are currently sitting 2nd in the Eastern Conference standings with a 28-12 record. Facing the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Detroit Pistons as their next five matchups, the Bucks can realistically improve their winning streak to eight games by 24th January.
