It came down to the final possession with 13 seconds left on the clock and Steph Curry with the ball and a chance to win it. It ended with a Curry turnover, trapped near half-court, and a Warriors’ 134-133 loss to the Sacramento Kings on Thursday night.
Warriors are 1-3 this season in games decided by one point, three of those games have been against the Kings.
The Warriors and Kings battled with offensive fire throughout, dropping 3-pointers on top of 3-pointers on either end. Golden State shot 19-for-37 for 3 (51.4%) and the Kings 22-for-48 (45.8%). It was Kings forward and former Warrior Harrison Barnes with the redemption game, putting up a career-high 39 points.
Curry started off with an 18-point first quarter, hitting five of his first eight 3s. He finished with 33 points, hitting one 3 after the first frame but shooting 13-for-26 from the field. Jonathan Kuminga scored a career-high 31 points and was a team-high plus-16. Draymond Green had 11 assists and was plus-14.
The Warriors continue this homestand on Saturday where they’ll take on the Los Angeles Lakers for the first time this regular season. Then the surging Philadelphia 76ers visit on Tuesday to close out the home stand.
