CK Press Box Report: Kings 114, Warriors 106
by James Ham & Jonathan Santiago
Playing to their potential.
Each starter for the Sacramento Kings played stellar in a thrilling 114-106 overtime victory at home over the Golden State Warriors.
“We were clicking on all cylinders tonight,” said big man DeMarcus Cousins, who posted his first-career 20-20 game. ”But we’ve still got a lot of growing to do. We’ve still got room for improvement so we’re going to continue to grow and get better.”
The Kings led by 11-points going into the fourth quarter. But the Warriors’ bench, particularly Nate Robinson and Klay Thompson brought Golden State back in the game. The two guards combined for 24 of the Warriors’ 26 points in the final period.
However, the Kings dominated in overtime – outscoring the Warriors 12-4 en route to victory.
“This group has shown from day one that they have the ability to get back in games – especially at home,” said Kings Head Coach Keith Smart. ”They haven’t done that yet on the road, but (they have)…at home with our crowd and our fan base.”
