Game Preview
This series’ opening game was a true classic. Sacramento trailed by six in the half and by as much as ten at some point. The Kings had a one-point lead going into the fourth quarter after finishing the third quarter on a 10-2 run.
Although there was a lot of back and forth in the fourth quarter, Sacramento managed to win 126-123. De’Aaron Fox scored 38 points, and Malik Monk, who came on as a substitute, contributed 32 points to the victory. Steph Curry scored the most points for the Warriors with 30, followed by Klay Thompson with 21.
The three-point shot determines the Warriors’ fate. They were second in three point percentage and had the most three pointers made per game (16.6) in the league. The Warriors are exceedingly difficult to defeat when they are hot from deep. The Warriors made 16 3-pointers in game one, but because they took 50 shots, their percentage was 32 percent.
A team needs to be able to shoot better than 35 percent if they are going to take as many shots as they did, which was more than half of them from beyond the arc. The Warriors shouldn’t shoot poorly from three for a second straight game, but you shouldn’t anticipate them to take 50 either. Golden State has been in this situation before, so they ought to be able to adjust.

Sacramento maintained solid perimeter defense throughout the contest. They were aggressive in the passing lanes and rarely let the Warriors shoot an open three. If the Kings want to lead the series 2-0, they must continue this and maintain their defensive pressure.
The Kings didn’t shoot too well on the offensive end of the court, however on the offensive glass, they were brutally aggressive. 17 of Sacramento’s offensive rebounds were grabbed. When a team like the Kings receives so many second chances, they always succeed. In game two, Sacramento must remain motivated and storm the offensive boards once again
