Sacramento 123-117 Golden State, NBA: Surging Kings Fight Back To Beat Warriors
The Sacramento Kings have now won three in a row overall, seven straight at home and are 10-2 under interim coach Doug Christie
The Sacramento Kings capped off an impressive comeback by defeating the Golden State Warriors Wednesday night.
Just as the Golden State Warriors were ready to hand revenge on a giant platter to the Kings on Wednesday night, DeMar DeRozan knocked it out of their hands and ignited Sacramento’s 123-117 comeback win at Golden 1 Center.
But the team has been "fun-bad," thanks to solid play from two-time All-Star small forward/shooting guard LaVine, two-time All-Star center Nikola Vucevic, and guards Coby White, Ayo Dosunmu and Giddey. In the mediocre East, the Bulls are good enough to have at least a shot at the postseason.
The Kings trapped the ball out of Steph Curry’s hands all night — often at halfcourt — and he responded by dishing a season-high 12 assists. Andrew Wiggins poured in 25 and Gui Santos (16 points) provided a major lift off the bench. But DeMar DeRozan (32 points, 24 in the second half) was too much for the short-handed Warriors to overcome.
The Golden State Warriors faced the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday. Steph Curry and Co., which lost 129-99 to their hosts early this month, hoped to bounce back with a win.
De'Aaron Fox saved eight of his 14 points for a game-ending flurry, DeMar DeRozan scored 32 points and the Sacramento Kings overcame an big deficit to beat the visiting Golden State Warriors 123-117 on Wednesday night.
