Golden State Warriors

Steph Curry caught fire in a 50-point second quarter and it almost wasn't enough for the Golden State Warriors, who hung on against the Sacramento Kings.

Wiggins finished with 22 points, 5 rebounds, 2 steals, and 2 blocks on 9-for-18 shooting from the field. Klay Thompson quietly had his least productive game of the season, scoring just 8 points in 27 minutes, but came up with a pair of huge stops against Fox in the final two minutes. When Curry returned to the floor with eight minutes left in the first half, Golden State exploded. With Curry on fire, the Warriors' offense became an unstoppable force that Sacramento had no chance of keeping up with. That was as good as it got for Brown on Sunday night as the Warriors defeated Sacramento 130-125. Two things were apparent early: both teams were ready to play on offense, while the defensive effort seemed to look a lot like the preseason.

Stephen Curry, Andrew Wiggins lead Golden State Warriors' win over Sacramento Kings on night Mike Brown receives NBA championship ring.

They’ve gotten a lot better and we let our guard down and they took advantage of it, but we got the win and I’m pleased with that.” They led by as many as 22 in the first half and 26 in the second. The Warriors shot a sizzling 67.4% from the field and made 10 of 18 (.556) from 3-point range. “They did a good job getting back into the game, but we won, so I’m looking at the positive,” Kerr said. The Warriors held a pregame ceremony to present Brown and Kings assistant coach Leandro Barbosa with their NBA championship rings from the 2021-22 season. Stephen Curry scored 28 of his 33 points in the first half to lead the Warriors to a 130-125 victory over the Kings. I’ve watched them a few times in preseason and early on, and he’s got them playing hard and playing at a high level. He brings his enthusiasm every single day and that’s what we enjoyed so much over the last five, six years, however long he was here, and he and I were really a perfect pair. That may be true, but the Kings are still searching for their first win under Brown. I’m more than thrilled to be able to come back here and get a ring in this building at this time of the year. I thank them for allowing me to be a part of it. De’Aaron Fox had 26 points, five rebounds and 10 assists to lead the Kings (0-3).
