Steph Curry and the defending champion Warriors bow down to the Kings at the start of their in-state playoff rivalry. NBAPlayoffs
De’Aaron Fox scored a game-high 38 points in his NBA postseason debut and teamed with Malik Monk for 28 fourth-quarter points as the Sacramento Kings edged the visiting Golden State Warriors, 126-123, in Game 1 of their Western Conference first-round series on Saturday night, April 15 for the first time in 17 years. Game 2 in the best-of-seven series is scheduled for Monday night, also in Sacramento.
Fox gave the Kings the lead for good at 115-114 with a three-pointer with 3:50 to go, and when Harrison Barnes bombed in a trey of his own shortly thereafter, the hosts had opened a six-point gap with just 2:35 to go. Monk capped a 32-point performance off the bench with two free throws with 2.9 seconds to go, and when Curry misfired on an open straight-away three-pointer at the horn, the Kings celebrated a win in their first-ever playoff game against their Northern California rival.
Trey Lyles added 16 points, Barnes 13, and Domantas Sabonis 12 with a game-high 16 rebounds for Sacramento, which earned the No. 3 seed in the West – and home-court advantage – by winning the Pacific Division title.
