The Warriors went from 12/25 from beyond the arc in the first half to 7/22 in the final 24 minutes. They focused on limiting Steph Curry and Klay Thompson, making the other guys beat you. That seemed to be a successful recipe, partially due to the aforementioned Paul injury. Thompson managed 17 points in the first half but made just one field goal from that point, ending with 20. Curry still contributed 13 points in the second half, but it came on 3/9 shooting, which is all you can ask regarding one of the league’s best scorers. Multiple players, from Chris Duarte to Keon Ellis and Fox, were thrown at Curry. And Fox specifically shined on the defensive end of the floor. 2. De’Aaron Fox impacting the game in various ways On a night where he missed eight free throws, the Kings’ star guard found different ways to leave his mark. He defended Curry, limited his turnovers (as he has most of the season), rebounded effectively, and made plays left and right. “I tried to affect the games in other ways even though I think every miss I had tonight was short,” Fox said postgame. “So, I would say offensively it wasn’t my best game, but I was out there for 40 minutes, and I feel like my imprint was still on the game. I’m not super disappointed in it, but obviously, anybody in my position would want to shoot the ball better.” same time tomorrow? see y’all then

His game-winner stole the show, but even small aspects from the sideline play a difference. With overwhelming whistles, the coaching staff engaged with the officials when Monk approached them and reminded them to keep their heads in the right place. Beyond Monk, Lyles’s energy and effort on both ends of the floor has been apparent since his return. “(Lyles) is a vet. He’s been playing the game for a long time,” Monk said. He knows what’s going on out there. He knows what spots to put us in.” “Whether it’s his voice or him doing something on the court, he always helps us out. But, it’s great to have him back, a big piece.”

Coach Brown highlighted Ellis and Vezenkov’s contributions in the postgame. Ellis gave Curry another defensive look and hit a substantial momentum-stalling triple in his six minutes. Vezenkov’s elite shooting is well documented, and his spacing was valuable Tuesday, but it may have been his best defensive performance in the NBA. He had four rebounds and two blocks in 15 minutes of play while blitzing Curry as the Warriors targeted him in the halfcourt. “He’s just smart,” Sabonis said. “He knows how to play the game. He puts himself in the right position. He’s not a (EuroLeague) MVP for nothing.” It was a group effort from the Kings to emerge victorious over Golden State and overcome a 24-point deficit. With it being the first night of a back-to-back, while the Los Angeles Clippers come into Golden 1 Center tonight, their depth will likely be needed again. When is the next Sacramento Kings Game? Sacramento will return to Golden 1 Center in less than 24 hours for the second game of a back-to-back as they will face a struggling Los Angeles Clippers team that has lost eight of its past 12 contests.
