The struggling Golden State Warriors have dropped 18 of their last 27 games to sit at 21 and 21
heading into tonight's matchup with the Sacramento Kings. Meanwhile, the Kings have found their
rhythm after a slow start to the season. Since parting ways with head coach Mike Brown, they've
won 9 of their last 10 games, climbing to the number 7 spot in the Western Conference, with
a record of 2 games above .500. The Warriors will look to cool them off, but they'll have to do so
without Draymond Green, Jonathan Kuminga, and Kyle Anderson, who are all sidelined with injuries.
Skip pass to Wiggins, right wing three. Perfect. That works. That's the ball movement you need.
But it started with Buddy getting that steal. That's it. Steph dropping into three and backpedaling
with the spot. I can't cheat off of that, man. He will make you pay if you sleep. Wiggins time to
set his feet, and that's where Andrew's been hitting threes at 38% clip on the season. You
like that skip pass from one end of the court. Comes your split or the cut inside. Cut to Curry,
so if they top block him upside, Steph will go the other way. That's what they've been doing,
and that split action, it works in the Warriors' favor. Moody catching shoot and rattling home a
three. So Moses, the last three games all double figures, 11, 13, and 13, and he's nine for his
last 19 on threes. Moody with another three. He knew that was going in. He's already celebrating
Would you say the Kings want the new balance to their offense? Is that what you're saying?
They do. Moody, little pass low. TJD, good hands and a finish. You like that action getting inside,
picking rolls. Moses, Moody making great decisions. Fox on Lindy Waters got that switch,
that quickness, and then denied without fouling. And the Warriors get the ball. It went off of Fox.
Amazing. Wiggins knocked down. He's been doing this all year. Another four-point play.
Six four-point plays. Warriors lead the four-point play category for the whole league. Six for Wiggs.
Buddy healed. Steve Kerr has seen so many threes go in his life. When Buddy let it go out of his
hand, Steve was already clapping. He knew it was in. Well executed. He tried to set up Steph. Three
men jump to Curry. Leaves Lindy Waters open, and that's how you make him pay. But then Lindy
Waters made sure he reacted to his drive really well. DeSantos hits a three. So when you've created
so many good ones and so many rhythm ones, now you're in rhythm. That was just a little show and
go, and that had it knocked away. Nice skip pass. DeSantos have made one three. How about another
one? The ball movement is too good. It's too much for the Kings to keep up with. Here in Looney,
Devon to roll. He's got Ellis behind him. The clever ball handling and shooting of Dennis
Cruder. He got that defender on his back and kept him there, and then the Gortat screen as Looney
set another one inside, kind of. DeSantos again. Three threes for Gee. Coach Kerr can't even help
it. A huge smile on his face right now. Cruder to Trace inside. Curry cutting.
Lay it in and draw the foul. Again, Trace Jackson-Davis can pass the ball.
Steph is always moving. Drop it off to Trace Jackson-Davis. He's fouled and pinned. Oh, come on.
Savonis had to kind of lunge over. Steph didn't try to recover and get back. Came up under arms,
somehow powered up. Use those muscles you got. They've been lifting before games,
off days, pumping iron. It's for moments like these.
Cruder, hot potato, and he drops in a three. You have them in scramble mode because they
keep double teaming Steph. Steph driving and around and out. That's going to be basket
interfere. Oh, they're going to count it. They're going to say the Kings touched it.
Trace Jackson-Davis, his rebounding in the last month has been special. He's got six
pulls tonight. He tacked it to himself. Come on, Steph Curry. That's a month's worth of highlights
for anybody else. Steph going to play beat the clock here. Keyon Ellis hounding him. Buddy healed,
sidestep three. Got it to end the half. Oh, what a shooting display by the Dubs. 14 of 26 on threes.
Trace Jackson-Davis, talk about banging and bumping. He'll pick up a foul. That is the way
to attack the basket as a big man. He's dishing out some pain, bully bully. GP2 attacking Gary
to the rim to lay it in and he'll draw a foul too. Trace may just start trying to deal with
Sabonis himself. Hope his teammates can help rebound. Higgins to Trace Jackson-Davis and
an odd dunk that rattled up off glass and in. This is Steph Curry time right now. Setting up GP2
and Gary rattles one home. Quinton Post to three. One of eight. What a tip in. Buddy healed flying in.
That was unbelievable. Look at the Warriors bench. Mock denied by Quinton Post.
Steph saving it to Lindy Waters. Don't forget, Quinton Post is seven feet tall. Can't teach that.
Shooter inside to lay it up and in. That's massive. You just sense you have some space to work with.
You only have one defender to beat. Use that F1 speed at exactly the right time. Higgins down the
lane. Attacks Sabonis. Puts it up and in. Buddy healed 11. Trace 10. DeSantos 11. Warriors a ton
of players in double figures. Higgins again. Higgins understands what the game needs. Get inside.
Warriors still maintaining the 12-point advantage and DeRozan is that hot.
Shooter normally sure-handed. He has it taken away. Eight turnovers in the quarter and DeRozan
laying it in again. It's tough to play defense after a turnover but Jamar DeRozan, no one really
stopped the ball. You couldn't cut off his angle to the basket. Buddy to Quinton Post.
Nice move and I like how Buddy healed. Got rid of that quickly. Can't be lamenting that
the lead is gone. Quinton Post. Bottoms a three. You see the way Step moves without the ball.
Sprinted to the corner there. Defense goes with him. You're able to kick it back to post. Buddy
healed. Catch and shoot three. And it's Quinton Post in the post with the delivery. Making a
quick decision. Point five decision. Moody catch and shoot. And Moody with a three. Confidence
stroke Moses Moody. He's just staying ready. Everybody's watching Step and he was ready.
Monk denied but he healed good energy. How much energy do the Warriors have to try to finish this
with so many bodies missing. Buddy, Buddy with another three. It's starting to rain again.
Keyon Ellis trying to get downhill. Quinton Post did not leave his feet. That was smart.
Leaked Monk bottoming a three. Skip backs to Keyon Ellis for three.
Sacramento's three-point shooting coming alive and Steve Kerr
gonna use the timeout. And now DeRozan a deep three and it's his night.
Santos inside. Wiggins a better look at a three. Got it down and Guy Santos quick decision making.
That's big. Wiggins attacking. Wiggins again. Andrew Wiggins has 22. He went bully ball
off of one foot. That's upper body strength and lower body strength. Guy Santos. Guy Santos with
a three. The Warriors retake the lead. I shouldn't have said anything about the turnovers as Malik
Monk steals and dunks to tie it. One of two from the line. Guy Santos because of Moody's effort
gets a layup. He's screaming on him too. One point lead in the ball. Shot clock down to seven.
Wiggins from deep. He got another three. Wiggs has 25. This is just Iso DeRozan
from the baseline. He's not going to miss them all. Wiggins on DeRozan. Tornado move himself
and Sabonis with the rebound. Yeah they're trying to take Step out of it. He may have to relocate
move after he gets doubled. Cox gets fouled. He was the clutch player of the year two years ago.
Step was the clutch player of the year last year. Wiggins trying to go in the lane to lay it up and
out too strong. Trying to make other people beat him. Here's Monk 100 miles an hour and he will be
fouled. So the Kings up two. Curry three. Around and out. Wiggins touched it but here comes Fox in
full flight. Fastest man in the league and Quinton Post will send him to the line. The free throws
continue to pile up. Kings trying to put him away and Fox right on cue and Steve Kerr has to take
the timeout. Step driving and putting it up and in. Two possession game. Kings leading clock here.
Shot clock at 12. Monk down the lane to put it up and in. There's going to be some weird games with
the officiating. You can't put this one on the officiating. No it was the turnovers. Moody scoring inside.
No need to foul now. The Kings are going to be 10-2 in their last 12 games.
7-0 at home under Doug Christie.
