The
Golden
State
Warriors
and
the
Sacramento
Kings
locked
horns
for
a
thrilling
NBA
In-Season
Tournament
contest
that
appeared
to
be
all
but
handled
by
the
visiting
Bay
Area
squad.
However,
the
Kings
took
care
of
business
on
their
home
court
and
won
the
game
while
eliminating
the
Warriors
from
tournament
play
and
advancing.
The
first
half
of
the
contest
on
Tuesday
(November
28)
saw
the
Warriors,
led
by
Andrew
Wiggins
and
Klay
Thompson’s
scoring,
go
up
big
on
the
Kings
and
looked
to
be
cruising
to
an
easy
win
and
advancing
to
the
knockout
round
of
the
tournament.
However,
the
second
half
saw
an
offensive
explosion
from
Malik
Monk
and
Kevin
Huerter,
who
the
Warriors
couldn’t
seem
to
stop.
There
were
also
a
number
of
careless
turnovers
due
to
errant
passing
by
the
Warriors.
that
led
to
fast-break
opportunities
for
the
Kings.
The
game
was
also
the
return
of
Draymond
Green
after
a
five-game
suspension
for
slapping
a
rear-naked
choke
onto
Rudy
Gobert
during
an
on-court
altercation.
De’Aaron
Fox
led
all
Kings
scorers
with
29
and
was
equally
unstoppable
down
the
stretch.
Fox
and
Huerter’s
burst
in
the
second
half
was
timely
as
Kings
big
man
Domantas
Sabonis
only
contributed
9
points.
The
story
of
the
game
and
the
topic
of
discussion
online
was
the
play
of
Stephen
Curry,
who
also
scored
29
points
but
made
just
4
of
12
three-point
attempts,
including
some
way
outside
the
arc
while
heavily
guarded.
This
has
led
to
some
calling
the
Warriors’
loss
a
choke
job
online.
We’ve
got
some
of
those
reactions
to
the
Golden
State
Warriors
and
Sacramento
Kings
game
below.
