The Golden State Warriors managed to come from behind and leave San Jose with a victory over the Sacramento Kings. On Klay Thompson bobblehead night, the Dubs needed to be special down the stretch and they were. The team improved to 2-1 during the preseason.
The Kings gave them everything they had. The Warriors needed to score the last 14 points of the game while holding Sacramento scoreless over the last three minutes in order to win 105-96. The reserves were great with their backs against the wall.
The Warriors have now given fans three different performances. They looked lost in Canada as they fell to the Toronto Raptors. They dominated the Los Angeles Clippers in the highly anticipated matchup of super teams. Now, they struggled and squeaked out a win over the lowly Kings.
Golden State is a better basketball team than the Kings, but they couldn’t quite get the separation they would have liked in this one. But it’s just preseason so the Warriors won’t sweat it too much. But there’s still some things that they can learn from it. They’ll go back and watch film and break different things down.
Here are five takeaways from the Warriors’ victory over the Kings.
