Throughout the first half, the Warriors and Kings traded buckets, with Golden State taking a five point lead into halftime. In the second half, the Warriors took control, holding a lead through the final two quarters on the way to a 111-106 win over the Kings.
In 14 minutes, Curry tallied eight points
on 3-of-6 shooting from the field wit a pair of made 3-pointers to go along with two assists in his third preseason appearance.
Ben Simmons really went UNDER the screen on Steph Curry 😭
