With trade rumors swirling the team, the Sacramento Kings lost one of their worst games this season. With no rumors of trade, the Warriors took full advantage of the Kings confusion and destroyed the Sacrament Kings with a 130-98 victory. C. J. Watson scored a career high, 40 points with team leading scorer Monta Ellis out for another game. It has been a rough year for the Warriors who have loss not because a lack of skill or offense, but because their team is depleted with injuries. It seems like after one guy is back from injury, another goes to the DL, and the cycle continues throughout the season. The Warriors have not played with a full team in a very long time. I honestly can not remember when the last time the Warriors had all their guys suited up, ready to go and injury less.
With that said, it is nice to see to other capable Warriors take over and lead this team. This is very promising for when Ellis comes back, the Warriors will seem to have more offensive power. With Stephen Curry taking the lead against the Clippers, he settled into his usual role, dishing out a career high 15 assists. It is the second highest for a Warrior player with Tim Hardaway dishing out 16 in 1990. He finished the game with 26 points and grabbed six rebounds. Not bad for a night’s work. C. J. took over the scoring reigns and scored 23 in the first half as he he hit 15 of his first 16 shots. Then he went ice cold and it looked like he wouldn’t top his previous career high of 38 until the final minutes when scored on a lay-up. Anthony Morrow had another solid night scoring 26 points and seldom used Devean George had a season high 15 points. The Warriors scored a team high 46 fast break points.
