The Golden State Warriors defeated the Sacramento Kings 122-114 on Friday night, with Stephen Curry scoring 41 points to help seal the victory.

According to Head Coach Steve Kerr, “Steph loves every building and every rim.” “His name is Steph. I’m at a loss for words.

First time back at Golden 1 Center since Curry’s 50-point masterpiece in Game 7 of last year’s first-round series against the Kings.

That series ignited competition between two Northern California teams that had never competed against each other previously.

For Warriors guard Klay Thompson, “they’ve arrived” is an apt metaphor. Throughout much of my work, they were in a period of reconstruction. They’ve established themselves as a distinct unit, one that commands our respect. They have a large number of skilled athletes. You certainly shouldn’t underestimate this squad.

The sellout audience was pumped up all night, but left disappointed when the Kings couldn’t stop Curry, who hit a game-winning 3-pointer in the final minute.

Curry’s 16-point third-quarter performance was decisive. Midway through the third quarter, he gave Golden State an 11-point lead by converting his 51st career four-point play, complete with a little dance.

Chris Paul, a new player for the Warriors but a veteran opponent of Curry’s, commented, “I’ve seen it before.” Had some dams and everything. We’ve finally come together as a team. Wow, that’s sick.

After Curry sat out the final minutes of the third quarter, the Warriors went on a 10-0 run, highlighted by Jonathan Kuminga’s put-back dunk, to extend their advantage to 94-77.

Late in the game, Sacramento attempted a comeback by capitalizing on mistakes made by the Warriors. The Kings scored 10 unanswered points in the final minute and a half to trim a 15-point lead to five. With 43 seconds remaining, Curry knocked down a 3-pointer and won the game for his team.

Kings guard De’Aaron Fox said, “Once the shot starts going in, you just try to make it tough for him, get the ball out of his hand.” “Something. It’s a challenging task, though.

Paul had 10 points, 12 assists, and 2 turnovers in his second game with the Warriors, and Thompson added 18 points. This season, Paul has only committed three turnovers to his 21 assists.

Fox was the Kings’ leading scorer with 39 points. Aside from his 19 points, 18 boards, and 7 assists, Domantas Sabonis also contributed.

We made a lot of mental mistakes that you just can’t make against a terrific team like this,” Kings head coach Mike Brown stated. If we made a mistake, we were punished. I’m hoping that we’ll be able to take anything useful away from this.
