The Sacramento Kings won two straight home games to kick off their first-round series against the Golden State Warriors, the defending NBA Champions.
The Kings then lost three straight as the Warriors’ championship pedigree became more noticeable. A Game 6 at the Chase Center was supposed to be the end of the series, especially as the Kings were 6.5-point underdogs ahead of the battle.
However, former Wildcats Malik Monk, De’Aaron Fox, and Trey Lyles had different plans in mind.
Monk had a team-high 28 points and was only outdone by Stephen Curry’s 29 points.
