Warriors Fall to Kings in Play-In Matchup
97-90 loss marks end of Warriors' season
Sacramento advances to face Grizzlies
The Golden State Warriors' season came to an end on Saturday night with a 97-90 loss to the Sacramento Kings in the NBA Play-In Tournament. The Kings, who were the No. 10 seed in the Western Conference, upset the No. 7 seed Warriors in the single-elimination game to advance to the first round of the playoffs. The Warriors, who were the defending NBA champions, were led by Stephen Curry's 27 points, but it wasn't enough to overcome a strong performance from the Kings, who were led by De'Aaron Fox's 26 points and Domantas Sabonis' 22 points.
The Warriors struggled from the field all night, shooting just 38.2% from the field and 25.0% from three-point range. The Kings, on the other hand, shot 47.4% from the field and 36.4% from three-point range. The Warriors also turned the ball over 15 times, while the Kings only turned the ball over 10 times.
The Warriors' loss is a disappointing end to a season that was full of promise. The Warriors were one of the favorites to win the NBA championship this season, but they struggled all season long and never really found their rhythm. The Warriors' loss also marks the end of an era, as this was the final season for Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green as a trio. The Warriors will now have to rebuild their team around Curry and Thompson, who are both still under contract for next season.
