Sacramento CA:  The Golden State Warriors(31-22) came into the Capital City to face the hosting Sacramento Kings (18-35) on the first game after the All-Star break leaving with an easy 101-92 win.

Sacramento came into the game shorted handed by two players,  DeMarcus Cousins who had to rest due to strained hip flexor and recently traded guard Marcus Thornton who is headed to the Brooklyn Nets in exchange for Jason Terry and Reggie Evans.

The Warriors went out to an early first quarter lead of 30 to 26 in a very ugly first quarter that was plagued by bad calls and turnovers.  Golden State opened the lead to nine points at the half.  The first half took over an hour and seven minutes to play as the turnovers and bad calls continued to slow the action at Sleep Train Arena.

The Kings outscored the Warriors by ten in the 3^rd quarter and took a one point lead into the fourth quarter but the Warriors offense was too much and the Kings failed to score with any rhythm and were lost the same ten point lead.

David Lee led the Warriors with 23 points, while Isaiah Thomas led the Kings with 26 Points.
