Brandin Podziemski was the game’s leading scorer, finishing with a career-high 30 points on 9-of-15 shooting in 32 minutes. He was Golden State’s primary offensive option throughout, but the Warriors could not match Sacramento’s four 20-point scorers.
De’Anthony Melton contributed 17 points and 4 rebounds in 28 minutes, active on both ends and one of Golden State’s most consistent contributors in the final stretch of the regular season.
Stephen Curry finished with 11 points on 3-of-8 shooting in 27 minutes. According to the Associated Press, this was only the second game in which Curry and Porzingis had appeared together for Golden State. They had shared approximately eight minutes in Curry’s previous appearance against Houston after he missed 27 games with a knee injury. Coach Steve Kerr’s priority was building chemistry between Curry and Porzingis before the play-in tournament.
Kristaps Porzingis recorded 11 points and 7 rebounds in 26 minutes, working alongside Curry ahead of the postseason.
Gary Payton II scored 10 points but was ejected in the fourth quarter after receiving his second technical foul of the game, according to CBS Sports. His removal left Golden State without one of its best perimeter defenders during the closing minutes.
Rookie guard LJ Cryer missed the game with a mild ankle sprain and was due to be re-evaluated in one week, according to CBS Sports.

How the Kings Won 124-118
Sacramento’s victory was built on balance, with four players reaching 20 points and the ability to answer every Golden State run.
The Kings led 63-51 at halftime, but the Warriors staged a dramatic comeback, outscoring Sacramento 38-19 in the third quarter to take an 89-82 lead into the fourth. The physical third quarter included two flagrant fouls and two technical fouls, including a flagrant-one on Carter for contact with Draymond Green and a technical assessed to Curry from the bench, according to the CBS Sports play-by-play.
Sacramento responded with its best quarter of the game. The Kings outscored Golden State 42-29 in the fourth to win by six. Payton II’s ejection at the 6:48 mark, moments after Sacramento tied the game at 98-98, deprived Golden State of an important perimeter defender during the closing stretch. Raynaud’s contributions late, including a three-pointer and a driving bank shot, pushed the Kings clear before free throws and Carter’s layup in the final minute confirmed the result.
Quarter scores: Golden State 27-24-38-29 | Sacramento 32-31-19-42
Season Context: What This Game Meant
For Golden State, the loss was secondary to preparation. The Warriors had already secured the Western Conference’s 10th seed. Coach Steve Kerr’s priority was building chemistry between Curry and Porzingis before the play-in tournament.
For Sacramento, the situation was more complicated. According to the Associated Press, the victory reduced Sacramento’s chances of improving its lottery odds. A loss would have moved the Kings toward a worse record and a better draft pick. Instead, the win kept them tied with the Utah Jazz for the fourth-worst record in the league, following a Jazz win earlier that Friday night.
