Game 1 is Tuesday night at Chase Center.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Component-root-0-2-185 p Component-p-0-2-175\">Sacramento\u2019s special comeback season is over long before these young Kings had planned. After snapping a 16-year playoff drought \u2014 longest in NBA history \u2014 under Coach of the Year Mike Brown, playoff-starved Sacramento earned a No. 3 seed but missed advancing to the second round for the first time since 2004. No more Light the Beam at Golden 1 Center this season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Component-root-0-2-185 p Component-p-0-2-175\">Curry shot 20 of 38 with seven 3s and delivered after almost every big play by Sacramento as Splash Brother Klay Thompson struggled on both ends again. But Thompson came through in some crucial moments, too.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Component-root-0-2-185 p Component-p-0-2-175\">Malik Monk\u2019s putback and three-point play with 14.6 seconds remaining in the third pulled Sacramento within six only for Thompson to hit a long 3 and convert a four-point play to make it 91-81 heading into the final 12 minutes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Component-root-0-2-185 p Component-p-0-2-175\">Domantas Sabonis had 22 points, eight rebounds and seven assists but the Warriors held De\u2019Aaron Fox in check as he scored 16 points on 5-for-19 shooting in his third game playing with a broken index finger on his shooting hand.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Component-root-0-2-185 p Component-p-0-2-175\">Trailing 58-56 at halftime, the Warriors opened the second half with a 13-4 burst to take a 69-62 lead and force a Kings timeout at the 7:50 mark.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Component-root-0-2-185 p Component-p-0-2-175\">Sacramento scored early on with a beautiful combination of classic give-and-goes and long jumpers off crisp passing around the perimeter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Component-root-0-2-185 p Component-p-0-2-175\">But Curry kept coming, and Looney kept scrapping to create second and third opportunities during his brilliant series on the boards.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Component-root-0-2-185 p Component-p-0-2-175\">Curry fired from way back with precision and fearlessly drove to the basket with jaw-dropping acrobatics all afternoon to send Kings fans to the exits late in the fourth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Component-root-0-2-185 p Component-p-0-2-175\">Thompson began 1 for 10 missing his first five 3s before connecting at the 9:18 mark of the third. Golden State, playing just its fourth Game 7 under Steve Kerr since the 2014-15 title run, was smart down the stretch after 18 turnovers in Game 6 led to 23 Kings points and Kerr calling his team \u201cwildly undisciplined.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Component-root-0-2-185 p Component-p-0-2-175\">Kerr had no doubt before the deciding game \u2014 and he went back to Draymond Green in the starting lineup for Game 7 with the season on the line after the fiery forward came off the bench the previous two contests following a Game 3 suspension for stepping on Domantas Sabonis.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Component-root-0-2-185 p Component-p-0-2-175\">\u201cThese guys are champions, defending champions from a year ago, four in the last eight years, these guys know the deal,\u201d Kerr said. \u201cThere\u2019s a sense of confidence and a sense that we\u2019re going to go get it done.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Component-root-0-2-185 p Component-p-0-2-175\">Just before the final buzzer, Kerr offered a long embrace to Brown \u2014 Golden State\u2019s former top assistant who once coached the Warriors during Kerr\u2019s health absence and just guided the Kings\u2019 remarkable turnaround.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Golden State&#8217;s star sharpshooter enjoys another historic moment, which also set his playoff career high<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":146,"featured_media":328892,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_spbk_hide_featured":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[399],"tags":[],"rumors":[],"typology":[],"posizionamento":[],"class_list":["post-328891","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nba"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 -
