The shorthanded Golden State Warriors overcame a spirited effort from the young Sacramento Kings, 117-116, on a Klay Thompson game winner. The champs overcame weary legs on the second night of a back-to-back to defeat the hungry Kings in a battle that went to the final seconds.
Kevin Durant exploded for 44 points, 13 rebounds, and 7 assists. Thompson scored 31 points, and his only fourth quarter basket was the winning shot.
Buddy Hield led the Kings with 28 points, while prized prospect Marvin Bagley III added 20 points of his own from the bench.
